Strawberry and Jam Croissants

A traditional French breakfast includes freshly baked pastries. The real pleasure is to have a cup of coffee with crispy toast or a tender croissant made from puff pastry, fresh from the oven. In order to enjoy only the freshest pastries, you can cook some dishes at home. Here is one of them.

  • oil - 300 g;
  • milk - 1 cup;
  • yeast - 50 g;
  • chicken egg - 1 pc.;
  • sugar - 2 tbsp. l .;
  • vanilla sugar - 1 sachet;
  • flour, how much dough will take;
  • a pinch of salt;
  • Strawberry and peach jam for toppings.

Cooking the dough:

  1. We heat the milk by dissolving the yeast in it, add the vanilla sugar and the egg.
  2. A third of the chilled oil is grated and mixed with flour, adding sugar and salt.
  3. Combine and knead both mixtures. The result should be a small ball of soft dough, which we place in the refrigerator for an hour and a half, wrapped in cling film. An important point. Sieve flour for the dough several times through a fine sieve so that it is saturated with oxygen. So the baking is magnificent and tender.
  4. We take out the dough, which has cooled in order, from the refrigerator and roll it into a thin layer.
  5. Grated chilled butter sprinkle the dough and fold in half, roll again. We do this several times. Having folded the dough in three layers, we send it to the freezer and leave it overnight.
  6. We take out the dough and roll out a thin layer. As a filling, we use strawberries and jam. Cut the rolled dough into triangles, put the filling on the narrow edge (cut the strawberries into pieces) and wrap the dough, starting from an acute angle. The edges are folded in the form of a crescent.
  7. Bake until cooked at a temperature of 180 degrees.

It is better to bake croissants in the morning right by breakfast, so they will get on the table still hot. Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar at will.

The dough preparation process is quite long and laborious. For those who are reluctant to bother with blanks, you can buy ready-made puff pastry in the store.
