  22. 3. **Knead the Dough**: Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes elastic and smooth.
  23. ##### Step 2: Rest the Dough
  24. - Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for about an hour.
  25. ##### Step 3: Prepare the Butter Block
  26. 1. **Chill the Butter**: Ensure that the butter is well chilled to maintain its shape during shaping.
  27. 2. **Shape the Butter**: Place the butter in between two sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and roll it into a rectangle, about 30cm x 20cm.
  28. ##### Step 4: Fold the Dough
  29. 1. **Roll Out the Dough**: Divide the rested dough into four equal parts and roll each part out to form a large square.
  30. 2. **Place Butter**: Place one piece of butter in the center of the dough, ensuring it is centered.
  31. 3. **Fold the Dough**: Fold the sides of the dough over the butter to enclose it.
  32. ##### Step 5: Chill and Rest
  33. 1. **Roll Out Again**: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 40cm x 25cm).
  34. 2. **Fold Once More**: Fold the dough in thirds, like folding a letter.
  35. 3. **Chill**: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
  36. ##### Step 6: Shaping the Croissants
  37. 1. **Cut the Dough**: After chilling, roll out the dough to about 0.5cm thickness using your rolling pin.
  38. 2. **Shape into Triangles**: Cut the dough into long strips and then roll each strip from the tail end towards the tip.
  39. 3. **Twist the Strips**: Twist the ends of the rolled strips to form croissant shapes.
  40. ##### Step 7: Proofing
  41. 1. **Arrange on Baking Tray**: Place the shaped croissants on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, allowing space between them for expansion.
  42. 2. **Cover and Rest**: Cover the croissants with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise at room temperature until doubled in size (about 1 to 2 hours).
  43. ##### Step 8: Baking
  44. 1. **Preheat Oven**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  45. 2. **Glaze the Croissants**: Lightly brush each croissant with beaten egg for a golden finish.
