Laminating dough (or folding in butter) will help create the many layers of airy flakiness. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post  for all of the exact measurements. <\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Milk:<\/strong> For extra richness, this recipe uses milk instead of water to activate the yeast.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yeast:<\/strong> 1\u00a0packet of active dry yeast is enough for one loaf of this bread.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honey:<\/strong> Adds just enough sweetness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Butter:<\/strong> For buttery flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> All-purpose flour will work the best for maximum tenderness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt:<\/strong> To bring out all of the flavors.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Butter:<\/strong>\u00a0C<\/span>old butter is<span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"> folded into the dough during the lamination process<\/span>.

Here are some tips so it turns out perfect!<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Butter Temperature:<\/strong> The butter for lamination should be soft enough to cut easily but not soft enough to spread. If the butter becomes too soft, spread it instead of placing the pats of butter, fold up the dough into the tri-fold like normal then pop it in the fridge for 20 minutes to harden the butter a bit before rolling out.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>If the Dough is Sticky:<\/strong> If the dough is getting sticky while you knead it you can add a dusting of flour, but don\u2019t add too much and dry the dough out.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Temperature of the Dough<\/strong> Make sure the dough is cold but not too hard to roll out. Twenty minutes may not be enough time to cool it down, but if it is too cold or hard to roll out, cover it and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes until it is just soft enough to roll out.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;\"><strong>Using Foil to Bake:<\/strong>\u00a0Watch the crust\u2019s color; once you take the foil off, it will brown pretty quickly. Check the internal temperature for doneness, and if it\u2019s still not the right temperature but the color is getting dark, place the foil back on top while it finishes baking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Added Flavors<\/strong>: One of my favorite things I had in Paris was their chocolate croissants. When you are doing the lamination process, maybe add some chocolate, raisins, or a cinnamon sugar mixture to your layers!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- .block-quick-tips__inner --><\/div>\n<p> <!-- .block-quick-tips --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1799\" alt=\"Side shot of croissant loaf sliced down the middle. \" class=\"wp-image-261727\" title=\"Croissant Bread is beautiful and fluffy with crispy, flaky layers on the outside.
