Steps to make Light and Fluffy Croissants:

- Dust some bread flour onto the counter top and roll out the dough you made in step 1 into a 60cm x 30cm shape. Place the butter from Step 2 onto the center of the dough. Now fold it into three layers.
- Wrap it with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Then take it out and roll it back out to a 60cm x 30cm shape. Fold it again into three layers and roll it out once again.
- Divide the dough into halves and roll each one into 40cm x 18cm pieces. Then cut them into triangular shapes.
- From the edge, roll them up. Place the seam edge on the bottom because they are going to expand. Make sure to leave space between them.
- Spray water on the surface of the dough and then let the dough rise at 35℃ to 40℃. (Your oven's bread-rising setting.)
- Next, coat the surface of the croissants with a beaten egg (not listed in the ingredients.) Preheat your oven to 180℃, let them bake for 10-15 minutes, and they are done!

Light and fluffy, soft but slightly crisp, made with lots of layered buttery goodness. You're probably looking at the title "low butter croissants" wondering, what the heck is she getting into now? I bet you thought the whole point of croissants was the layers upon layers of butter. After all, that creates the distinct layered flakiness. Croissants fall into that category of "laminated pastry." This means the dough gets folded over and over again, with cold butter in between each tissue-thin layer.
