Recipe for Making Dunkin Donuts Croissant

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm milk (around 110°F/43°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter (for laminating)
1 large egg (for egg wash)

Equipment:

Rolling pin
Baking sheet
Parchment paper
Pastry brush

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

Start by mixing the flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. In another small dish, combine the yeast with the warm milk and allow to rest for 5 minutes until frothy. Pour the yeast mixture and the softened butter into the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms. Slightly flouring a work surface, knead the dough until smooth, 5 minutes.

Chill the Dough

Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in the damp towel, and leave it in a warm spot to rise for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Laminate the Dough

Once the dough has fermented, roll it out into a large rectangle roughly 1/2 inch thick. Add the cold butter (cubed) to the centre of the dough. Folding the dough over the butter like an envelope, roll it out again into a long rectangle. Fold it like a letter, in thirds, and put the dough in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

To create the flaky layers, repeat this rolling and folding a few times (2–3 times). Chill the dough for 30 minutes between folds each time.

Shape the Croissants

Once the dough is laminated, roll it into a large rectangle and then cut it into triangles. Roll each triangle from base to tip, forming a crescent. Transfer each croissant to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Proof and Bake

Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get it warm. Eggwash the tops of the croissants to give them a golden finish. Cover the croissants and let them rise for 30 minutes or so.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until they’re golden brown and puffy up. Cool slightly before serving.

Enjoy

Now you have croissants at home, buttery + flaky! These are great for breakfast or a midday snack, served alongside your favourite coffee or eaten by themselves.

Tip

To make them even more decadent, you can insert a bit of sugar glaze or chocolate filling on the inside before rolling them into croissants.
