Croissants with cottage cheese and raisins - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! You can substitute the raisins with an equal amount of other dried fruits like chopped dried apricots, cranberries, or cherries. Just keep in mind that very dry fruits might need a slightly longer soaking time in step 1 to soften properly.
Yes, you can make a dairy-free version. For the filling, you can use a plant-based cream cheese alternative instead of cottage cheese. For the dough, ensure you're using a dairy-free version. Also, use oil or a plant-based butter alternative for greasing the parchment paper instead of butter.
Once fully cooled, store the croissants in an airtight container at room temperature. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days as the pastry can become soft. For longer storage, I recommend freezing them (see next question).
Yes, you can! After baking and letting them cool completely, wrap each croissant tightly in plastic wrap or place them in a single layer in a freezer-safe bag. They'll keep for up to 3 months. To enjoy, thaw at room temperature and then warm in a 350°F (180°C) oven for 5-10 minutes to re-crisp.
Yes, you can prepare the components ahead. The filling (cottage cheese mixture) can be made and stored covered in the fridge for up to a day. You can also shape the croissants and keep them covered on the baking sheet in the fridge overnight. Just bake them straight from the fridge when ready, though they might need a minute or two longer in the oven.
Yes, absolutely. If your raisins seem particularly dry or hard, feel free to extend the soaking time in step 1 to 15 or even 20 minutes. You just want them to be plump and soft enough that they'll be pleasant to eat in the final bake.
These croissants are delicious on their own with a cup of coffee or tea. For a more substantial breakfast or brunch, consider serving them with fresh fruit like berries, a dollop of yogurt, or even a small side salad to balance the richness.
