Delicious, hot, fragrant memories from childhood.

How to cook Croissants

Step 1

Croissants

Heat milk and dissolve sugar, dry yeast in it. As soon as the mass foams (about 15-30 minutes) - add salt, egg and gradually add flour. Knead the dough. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour (1.5 hours).

Step 2

Croissants

Roll out 2 circles, brush generously with butter, sprinkle with sugar (put the filling of your choice), cut the circle into triangles and roll the croissants.

Step 3

Croissants

Leave to stand for 20-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Bake croissants for 20 minutes. Immediately cover with a damp towel, the slightly cooled croissants can be sprinkled with powdered sugar / almond feathers, etc.

Croissants - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute instant yeast for dry yeast in a 1:1 ratio. However, instant yeast doesn't need to be activated in liquid first – you can mix it directly with the flour. The rising time may be slightly shorter with instant yeast.
For a dairy-free alternative, use high-quality vegan margarine or coconut oil. Keep in mind this may slightly alter the flavor and flakiness of your croissants. Make sure any milk is also replaced with a plant-based alternative like almond or oat milk.
Store cooled croissants in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic and freeze for up to 1 month. Avoid refrigeration as it makes them stale faster.
Yes, you can prepare the shaped croissants up to the final rise, then refrigerate overnight (up to 18 hours). Let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes before baking. Alternatively, freeze unbaked croissants for up to 1 month.
Beyond plain or sugary fillings, try Nutella, almond paste, ham and cheese, or cinnamon-sugar. For savory options, pesto with mozzarella or sun-dried tomatoes work well. Just avoid overly wet fillings that could make the dough soggy.
Common issues include: yeast that's too old (check expiration date), liquid that was too hot (should be warm, not boiling), or a cold environment. Try placing the dough in a slightly warmed oven (then turned off) to create an ideal rising temperature.
Simply divide your dough into more portions when shaping – cut each circle into 12-16 triangles instead of 6-8. Reduce baking time by 5-7 minutes, keeping an eye on their golden color.
