Method

Mix flour, sugar, salt and yeast in a bowl, then add warm water and knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Let dough rest for 30 minutes. Roll out to a rectangle and laminate by spreading 200g softened butter across the dough, folding into thirds, rotating 90 degrees, and repeating this process three times with 20-minute rests between folds. After final lamination, chill for 2 hours. Roll out to 3mm thickness, cut into 10cm squares, then cut diagonally to create triangles and roll each into a crescent shape. Place on lined baking trays, cover and prove for 1.5 hours until puffy. Brush with egg yolk mixed with water, then bake at 200°C for 18-20 minutes until golden brown.
