Dough Preparation and Kneading

Description

1. Gather ingredients (flour, yeast, milk, sugar, salt, egg, butter).
2. Mix ingredients (combine dry ingredients, then add liquids).
3. Knead the dough (knead until smooth and elastic).
4. Let the dough rest (leave for 1-2 hours in a warm place).
5. Check dough readiness (press with your finger – it should slowly spring back).
6. Punch down the dough (remove excess carbon dioxide before the next step).

These steps form the foundation for the next stages of croissant preparation!
