Buttery, laminated layers that shatter at the first bite -- worth every fold. Here it's built on bread flour, cold milk and sugar -- a advanced, bakery recipe that starts by make the dough: mix the flour, and is ready in roughly 55 minutes.

Worth the 55 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.

A more involved technique that rewards patience with real depth of flavor.

Built around bread flour, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.
