Description
There’s something magical about the aroma of freshly baked croissants wafting through the kitchen. It’s like a warm hug on a chilly morning. Today, I’m thrilled to share my journey with pistachio croissants, a delightful twist on a classic favorite. These flaky, buttery pastries filled with a rich pistachio cream are a treat for the senses.
Ingredients
high-quality all-purpose flour
unsalted butter
unsalted, shelled pistachios
sugar
eggs
vanilla extract
yeast
Instructions
1. Prepare the dough and allow it to rise until doubled in size.
2. Roll out the dough and fold in the butter to create layers.
3. Blend pistachios with sugar and cream for the filling.
4. Spread the filling over the dough, roll it up, and slice into croissants.
5. Let them rise again before baking to golden perfection.
Notes
Keep your ingredients cold, especially the butter, to ensure flaky layers.
Be patient with the rising process; good things come to those who wait.
Use a light touch when rolling out the dough to avoid compressing the layers.
Don’t rush the baking time; let the croissants bake until they’re a deep golden brown.
