Homemade Croissant

My kids love croissant. French croissant is very buttery and flaky. I love them too. However, the good ones will cost me several bucks per croissant if I buy it from a French bakery in the U.S. Last year, I decided to make them myself. I tried many recipes. This one is not as complicated and it tastes good. Warning - it is tasty but it doesn't taste like the ones from the bakery. Kitchenware you will need : Baking pan Parchment sheet Plastic wrap Rolling pin Ingredients you will need : Bread flour 300 g Sugar 30 g Salt 4 g Dry active yeast 7 g Egg (beaten) 1 Milk (warm) 150 ml Butter (chop into small cubic pieces) 30 g Butter for filling 1 stick or 115 g Step 1: Add ingredients #1 to #7 into a bowl. Put #8 (a stick of butter) between two plastic wrap.  Tip : Put sugar and yeast side by side and add milk (pour it on sugar side). Then, add bread flour, salt, egg and butter. Step 2: Mix the ingredients in the bowl by hand (about few minutes). Cover the bowl
