7 g salt
35 ml sunflower oil
225 ml water

1 egg (for brushing)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, sunflower oil, and water. Mix until well combined.
Knead the dough for 10-12 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, divide the dough into two pieces and roll each into a circle on a floured surface.
Spread softened butter on one circle and stack the other on top.
Cut the stacked circles into 12 triangles and roll each from the wide end to the tip to form croissants.
Place on a lined baking tray, brush with beaten egg, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
