Recipe: Easy Twisted Croissant French Bread

Ingredients

Prepare the butter packet by folding parchment paper and placing pieces of butter inside, then flatten it into a thin sheet and chill in the fridge.
In a stand mixer, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit until foamy.
Add salt and flour to the yeast mixture and mix until a soft dough forms.
Knead the dough for 3-4 minutes until smooth, then let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Roll the dough into a rectangle and place the chilled butter packet in the center.
Fold the dough over the butter, sealing the edges, then roll it out into a longer rectangle.
Fold the dough again and let it rest for a few minutes before rolling it into a square.
Cut the square into strips, twist each strip, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover and let the twisted loaves rise until puffy, then bake in a preheated oven until golden, about 20-22 minutes.
Brush any leaked butter over the top of the warm loaves before serving.
