Croissant Dough

Filling

Method

Making the Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the flour mixture along with milk. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Form into a ball.

  5. 5

    Chill the Dough

    Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for better results.

  6. 6

    Roll and Fold Butter

    Roll out the cold butter between two sheets of parchment paper into a rectangle. Roll out the dough to a rectangle and place the butter in the center. Fold the dough over the butter and seal the edges.

  7. 7

    Laminate the Dough

    Roll out the dough again into a rectangle and fold it into thirds. Repeat this process 3 times. Chill the dough for 30 minutes between folds.

Preparing the Filling

  1. 8

    Sauté Spinach

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. 9

    Mix Filling Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the sautéed spinach, crumbled feta cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Mix well.

Assembling the Croissants

  1. 10

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 11

    Cut the Dough

    Roll out the laminated dough into a large rectangle and cut it into triangles.

  3. 12

    Add Filling

    Place a spoonful of the spinach and feta mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough towards the point to form a croissant shape.

  4. 13

    Apply Egg Wash

    Beat the egg and brush it over the top of each croissant for a golden finish.

  5. 14

    Bake

    Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
