Croissant
Croissant is a delicious, buttery, flaky pastry that originated in France. It is typically crescent-shaped and made with layers of dough that are folded and rolled to create a light and airy texture. Croissants are often enjoyed as a breakfast or snack and can be plain or filled with various sweet or savory fillings. They are best enjoyed fresh from the oven with a cup of coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if using frozen)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle.
- Cut the rectangle into four smaller triangles.
- Spread a thin layer of softened butter on each triangle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting at the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough towards the pointed end to form a croissant shape.
- Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
- Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg for a shiny finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving.
