A Taste of Mulberry Lodge: Savoury Croissant Recipe 🍽️Want to recreate this guest favourite at home? Here’s our recipe for making croissants from scratch and assembling the ultimate savoury breakfast sandwich:

Ingredients for Croissants:

• 500g (4 cups) strong bread flour
• 10g (2 tsp) salt
• 80g (6 tbsp) sugar
• 10g (2 tsp) instant yeast
• 300ml (1 1/4 cups) cold milk
• 300g (10 oz) cold unsalted butter, cut into slices

Method for Croissants:

1. Mix the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast in a bowl, ensuring the salt and yeast don’t touch directly. Gradually add the cold milk, kneading into a smooth dough. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
2. Roll the dough into a rectangle and place the butter slices in the center. Fold the dough edges over the butter and seal the edges.
3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle again, then fold into thirds like a letter. Chill for 30 minutes. Repeat this process 3 more times to create layers.
4. After the final chill, roll out the dough thinly and cut into triangles. Roll each triangle into a croissant shape. Place on a baking tray, cover, and let rise for 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed. Let cool.
