Ingredients:

- 400 g smooth flour

- 1/2 bag of dry yeast

- 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla sugar

- 50 ml of oil

- 150 ml of milk

- 100 ml of lukewarm water

- 1 teaspoon of salt

- 100 g of butter

- 1 egg for coating

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, mix milk, lukewarm water, vanilla sugar, and dry yeast. Allow the yeast to activate.

2. Cut the butter into cubes and place it in the freezer to chill.

3. Add oil, salt, and flour to the yeast mixture. Knead or mix the dough patiently until well combined. Allow the dough to rest to allow the ingredients to meld together. Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

4. Once the dough has risen, knead it again and roll it out into a circle.

5. Grate the chilled butter over the dough and roll it up tightly, similar to a pancake.

6. Roll out the dough lengthwise and cut it into triangles.

7. Roll each triangle of dough into a croissant shape, starting from the wider end and rolling towards the tip. Place the shaped croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

8. Brush the croissants gently with beaten egg and let them rise for another 30 minutes to 45 minutes.

9. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 degrees Fahrenheit).

10. Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

11. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the warm, buttery goodness of homemade croissants with your favorite spreads or fillings.
