How to make croissants
A cup of aromatic coffee and a fresh croissant, when broken, emits a delicious crunch, spread with rustic butter or thick jam - this is not just breakfast, it is a lifestyle and outlook. After such a breakfast, a hectic day will seem easy, and the weekend will be excellent. Croissants must be freshly baked, making them ideal for Saturday and Sunday morning meals. Real croissants will take a little longer than those that can be baked from ready-made dough, since the choice is now huge. Consider several options for how to cook croissants with and without fillings, quickly and slowly.

Defrost the dough well, cover it with cling film or a bag so that it does not dry out. Carefully roll out the dough into a 2-3 mm thick rectangular layer, grease the entire surface with butter. Cut into acute-angled triangles, using light pressure, twist from the base to the top of the triangles with rolls. If desired, give them a crescent shape. Shake the yolks, brush the croissants and place on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 15-20 minutes, serve warm. This recipe is perfect for quick croissants with any filling, from sugar and boiled condensed milk, jam, to cheese and cottage cheese with herbs.
Croissants with cherry filling
Ingredients:
Yeast-free puff pastry - 1 pack
Defrost the dough, roll out into a 3 mm thick rectangle. Cut into sharp triangles, cut the base of each one 1-2 cm deep, bend the resulting "wings" towards the apex of the triangle. Place a few cherries on the base (depending on the size of the croissants), sprinkle with sugar and gently roll into a roll. The croissant should look like a bagel. Transfer to a baking sheet covered with baking paper, brush with whipped yolk on top and after five minutes send to the oven preheated to 190 degrees. Cook for 20 minutes, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar on top if desired.
Homemade dough croissants
Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 3 cups
Stir the yeast in warm water with a teaspoon of sugar, sift the flour, add sugar, salt, pour in milk and 3 tablespoons of melted butter, knead well, add yeast. Knead until the dough stops sticking to your hands, cover the container with the dough and leave in a warm place for 30-40 minutes. Roll out the dough into a layer of 5 mm. thick and put in the refrigerator for 2 hours, covered with cling film. Roll out the cold dough thinner, grease half of the layer with soft oil, cover with the other half, roll it out a little. Lubricate half of the layer with oil again, cover the second one, roll it out - repeat until a small thick layer is obtained, which must be removed to the refrigerator for an hour.
Divide the dough into several parts, roll each of them (into a rectangular or round layer, as it is more convenient), cut into sharp triangles and roll from the base to the top. If desired, place the filling on the croissant base and roll gently. Place ready-made bagels on a greased or lined baking sheet, cover and allow to stand for 20-25 minutes. Beat the egg a little with a fork, grease the croissants and cook in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
Croissants with chocolate
Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 2 cups
Dissolve the yeast in warm water, knead the dough from flour, sugar, salt and milk, pour in the yeast and knead well. Leave to rise, covered with a towel. Roll out the dough as thin as possible, grease the middle with soft butter and fold the edges like an envelope, roll out a little and repeat the greasing several times. Remove the dough in the refrigerator for an hour and a half, then roll out and cut into triangles. Put chocolate (chocolate paste) at the base of the triangles and wrap it in a bagel. Put croissants on a greased baking sheet, brush with beaten yolk and bake in an oven preheated to 190 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Decorate with almond petals and serve with tea and coffee.
Croissants with bacon
Ingredients:
Puff pastry - 1 pack or 500 gr. homemade
Thinly chop the onion, fry in oil for 2-3 minutes, add bacon cut into thin strips, stir, cook for 4-5 minutes. Roll out the dough into a layer of medium thickness, cut into triangles, on the bases of which put the filling and roll up. Place on a baking sheet with baking paper, brush over with a beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Send to an oven preheated to 190 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve hot with beer or wine.
