Important Notes:
Prepare the butter 15 minutes before taking the dough out of the refrigerator. To achieve softened butter, take it out of the refrigerator several hours in advance. This is a crucial step.
After softening, place the butter in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up slightly, but ensure it doesn’t become too hard. If the butter hardens, it will form lumps, and the laminated dough may not turn out well.
Preparation Steps:
Prepare the Dough:
In a bowl, mix flour, water, milk, sugar, softened butter, yeast, and salt. Knead into a smooth and elastic dough.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.

Prepare the Butter for Laminating:
Soften the butter to room temperature. Then shape it into a rectangular block, wrap in parchment paper, and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up slightly.
Rolling and Folding:
Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Place the chilled butter on one half of the dough and fold the other half over it, like an envelope.
Roll the dough with the butter into a long rectangle, then fold it into thirds. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times, chilling the dough between each fold.

Shaping the Croissants:
Roll out the dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles.
Roll each triangle into a croissant shape, starting from the wide end and finishing at the narrow tip.
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise for about 1-2 hours until they double in size.
Baking:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Brush the croissants with an egg wash (an egg beaten with a little water).
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
Serve the fresh, crispy croissants with your favorite jam or chocolate. Enjoy!
