Bread Machine Butter Croissant

This recipe yields 12 flaky and buttery croissants which are perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

Instructions:

1. Place flour, salt, and sugar in the bread machine pan.
2. In a small bowl, mix together water and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to activate.
3. Once activated, add the yeast mixture to the bread machine pan. Select the dough setting and start the machine.
4. After 5-10 minutes, add the softened butter to the bread machine.
5. Let the bread machine complete the dough cycle. Once completed, remove dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into 2 equal portions.
6. Roll out each portion to form 12-inch circles. Cut each circle into 6 equal wedges.
7. Roll each wedge from the wide end to the tip. Curve the ends to form a crescent shape.
8. Place croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
9. Preheat the oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Brush croissants with an egg wash, and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
10. Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Serve warm with butter or jam.
