Prepare the dough with a stand mixer or by kneading by hand.
In a jug, mix the eggs and milk.
In the stand mixer bowl, add the flour and yeast together with half of the egg and milk mixture.
Start kneading, add the sugar and salt, then the rest of the liquids.
Knead for a few minutes until the liquids are absorbed; when the dough starts to come together, add the soft butter in pieces, a little at a time.
Continue kneading until you obtain a smooth, elastic ball of dough.
Let rise for about 2-3 hours until doubled in size.
Take the dough again and roll it out with a rolling pin into a rectangular sheet about 7-8 mm thick (if it is too large, divide it in two lengthwise).
Cut long triangles and roll them from the base to the tip to form croissants.
Transfer the croissants into a mold lined with parchment paper (26 cm diameter) and let rise for another hour and a half or so.
Brush the surface with the egg and milk mixture.
Bake at 175°C for about 20 minutes until golden.
Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Stand mixer (optional)
Rolling pin
Round mold 26 cm diameter
Parchment paper
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days; for longer storage, freeze the croissants once cooled.
The original recipe is described as a breakfast to share; rising times may vary depending on room temperature. If the dough is very large, it can be divided in two and worked in two pans.
