Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast

- 4 cups All-Purpose White Flour
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
- Combine warm water and active dry yeast in a bowl. Let sit until frothy.
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a stand mixer bowl. Add the yeast mixture and mix until dough forms.
- Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Shape into a ball, place in a greased bowl, and cover.
- Chill butter rolled into an even rectangle while dough rises for 1 hour.
- Roll out dough into a large rectangle, place chilled butter on one half, fold over, roll out gently, then fold into thirds. Chill and repeat two more times.
- Shape croissants by cutting triangles from the final dough sheet and adding fillings at the base before rolling up.
