To achieve a good croissant with an ideal structure and shape, the minimum amount of butter used in lamination should be approximately 30% of the total dough weight. However, many bakers use up to 50% of the dough weight in butter to achieve an even flakier and more flavorful product.
For example, if you have 1 kilogram of dough, you would need at least 300 grams of butter for lamination, though it is common to use 500 grams for better results.
