   Preheat your oven to 180 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar.

   Tip: Make sure to use a high-quality flour for the best results.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together yeast, milk, and egg.

   Tip: Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes to allow the yeast to activate.

4. 4

   Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   Tip: Be careful not to overmix the dough.

5. 5

   Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for ease.

   Allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before glazing with ruby chocolate ganache.

   Tip: Make sure the croissants are completely cool before glazing to prevent the ganache from melting.
