What's not to love when it comes to croissants?
Flaky on the outside, soft and buttery on the inside?
They might just be our favorite French pastry.
Though easy to enjoy, croissants can be difficult to perfect, especially if you're making them at home.
The process takes practice, and a lot of patience, but trust us when we say it's worth it.
We tested 100s of croissants to bring you the best classic croissant and have you bacon like a pro, so let's get into it.
We're going to start by making our dough.
Our dough consists of 8 ingredients milk, water, flour, sugar, salt, yeast, malt, and butter.
In a large bowl, combine the milk and water.
A lot of croissant recipes call for just water, but we found that a combination of water and whole milk creates that tender crumb we want.
