INGREDIENTS

  • Dough

    • 1 cup warm water
    • 1 tablespoon white sugar
    • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
    • 2 ½ cups bread flour, divided
    • 2 tablespoons melted butter
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon kosher salt

  • Seasoning & Filling

    • 🧈 2 sticks ice-cold unsalted butter, divided
    • ⅔ cup white sugar
    • 🧂 2 teaspoons sea salt

STEPS

1

Combine warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it rest until foamy, about 5 minutes.

2

Add 2 cups of flour, melted butter, and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir until sticky dough forms.

3

Knead the dough on a floured surface, incorporating remaining flour as needed until elastic. Let rise for 90 minutes.

4

Mix sugar and sea salt for the seasoned sugar mixture.

5

Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter and coat with the seasoned sugar.

6

Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Grate 1 stick of ice-cold butter evenly over the surface. Fold and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

7

Repeat rolling, buttering with the second stick, folding, and refrigerating for another 60 minutes.

8

Coat the dough with seasoned sugar, roll, and shape into 12 equal squares. Pinch the corners of each to form crown shapes, set into muffin tin.

9

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes until browned and puffed. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.
