Pistachio Croissant Ingredients

Method

Pistachio Croissant Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pistachio Filling

    In a food processor, combine the shelled pistachios, granulated sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Pulse until a coarse paste forms.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the croissant dough into a large rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Croissants

    Cut the dough into triangles. Place a spoonful of the pistachio filling at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the triangles tightly from the wide end to the point to form croissants.

  4. 4

    Egg Wash

    Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Finishing Touch

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
