Create a rectangular shape with your dough, then cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge overnight.

Make the butter block by rolling chilled butter into a rectangular shape. Cover it with plastic wrap and freeze it together with your dough for 20 minutes.

Encase your butter inside the dough. Fold it in and roll the dough. Repeat these steps to create multiple layers. Let the rolled dough rest in between folding.

Roll the dough triangles into crescent-shaped croissants. Press the tip to seal the end.
