Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 cups unsalted butter (1 cup melted, 1 cup cold)
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm milk while mixing until fully combined.
  2. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Flatten the cold unsalted butter between parchment paper into a rectangle.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough into a larger rectangle and place the butter in the center. Fold over to encase the butter completely.
  5. Roll out gently to elongate and fold into thirds like a letter; repeat two more times with chilling periods in between.
  6. Roll out to half an inch thick and cut triangles from the dough; roll each triangle tightly from base to tip.
  7. Place on lined baking sheets with tips tucked underneath and let rise until doubled (about 30 minutes).
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush with beaten egg and bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown.
