Easy and Economical Chocolate Croissants
Preparing croissants at home can be both easy and economical, resulting in soft and moist pastries that rival those from major bakeries. Here's a detailed recipe to guide you:
Ingredients:
-
For the Dough:
- 6 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 cup warm water
- Pinch of salt
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- ½ cup vegetable oil
-
For the Filling:
- Chocolate (any type you prefer)
-
For the Glaze:
- 1 egg yolk
- A splash of vinegar
- A splash of milk
- Pinch of salt
Preparation Steps:
1. Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and active dry yeast.
Add the vegetable oil and mix well.
Gradually add the warm milk and warm water, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
2. Shape the Croissants:
After resting, divide the dough into small portions.
Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a circle.
Place a piece of chocolate at the base of each circle.
Roll the dough around the chocolate, shaping it into a croissant.
Place the croissants on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise for about 1 hour.
3. Prepare the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk, vinegar, milk, and a pinch of salt.
4. Bake the Croissants:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Brush the tops of the croissants with the glaze.
Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Enjoy your homemade croissants! 😊
