The image shows a basket full of freshly baked croissants. They are golden brown and flaky, and some of them have a slightly burnt edge. They are piled high in the basket, and some of them are overlapping. The background is blurred, but it appears to be a kitchen counter or table. { "title": "Croissants", "ingredients": [ { "name": "All-purpose flour", "quantity": "500g" }, { "name": "Salt", "quantity": "10g" }, { "name": "Sugar", "quantity": "20g" }, { "name": "Instant yeast", "quantity": "7g" }, { "name": "Unsalted butter", "quantity": "250g" }, { "name": "Milk", "quantity": "250ml" }, { "name": "Egg yolk", "quantity": "1" } ], "instructions": [ "In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.", "Add the milk and mix until a dough forms.", "Knead the dough for 10 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.", "Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.", "Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.", "Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough.", "Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter.", "Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.", "Repeat steps 7 and 8 two more times.", "Roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.", "Cut the dough into triangles.", "Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end.", "Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.", "Cover and let them rise for 1 hour.", "Brush the croissants with egg yolk and bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown." ], "notes": "You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook to knead the dough. Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature before spreading it on the dough. The croissants will rise best in a warm place, like a turned-off oven with a bowl of hot water inside." }
