\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Preparation
I. Dough Preparation and Proving
Sourdough (Yeast Rising): Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the lukewarm milk and crumble the yeast. Let stand for 10-15 minutes until foamy.
Dough assembly: Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, the fermented baked milk, the kefir\/sour cream, the softened lard and the egg yolk.
Dough: Start kneading the dough (with a mixer for about 8-10 minutes, by hand for 15 minutes) until it is smooth, elastic and separates from the sides of the bowl.
Proving: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and leave in a warm place to double in size (about 45-60 minutes).
II. Shaping and Second Proving
Preparation: Place the risen dough on a floured surface and divide into 2 equal parts.
Roll out the circles: Roll out both pieces of dough into a thin, roughly circular shape (about 3-4 mm thick).
Cutting the triangles: Cut both circles into 10-12 equal triangles (like a pizza).
Shaping: Starting at the wider end, loosely roll the dough up towards the tip. Bend the end into a croissant shape.
Second Rising: Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with baking paper and let them rise for another 20 minutes \u2013 this will make them really airy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
III. Baking
Preheating: Preheat the oven to $190^\\circ\\text{C}$ (top and bottom heat).
Brushing: Brush the top of the croissants with the beaten egg white.
Sprinkle: Sprinkle with coarse salt or sesame seeds.
Baking: Bake until golden brown, approx. 12-15 minutes.
