Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour. Make a well in the center.
  2. Add honey to the well along with olive oil, sea salt, and diced butter. Stir until mixture is crumbly.
  3. Gradually add filtered water while stirring with your hands until dough comes together.
  4. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes to form a smooth, elastic dough. Wrap in plastic wrap, refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough to about an even rectangle.
  6. Spread egg wash over the rectangle, leaving a quarter-inch border. Fold opposite sides towards the middle like book pages.
  7. Fold the resulting strip into thirds and let it rest covered with plastic wrap for 30 minutes. Repeat two more times.
  8. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and bake croissants on a baking sheet for about 18-20 minutes or until golden.
