Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup of warm water. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cubed cold butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

  4. 4

    Form Dough

    Stir in the activated yeast mixture and ice water gradually until a dough forms. Knead lightly until smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Assembling Croissants

  1. 5

    Roll Out Dough

    On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 6

    Cut Triangles

    Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles (about 5 inches at the base).

  3. 7

    Add Filling

    Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each triangle. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese on the wide end of each triangle.

  4. 8

    Roll Croissants

    Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle tightly to form a crescent shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 9

    Egg Wash

    Brush the tops of each croissant with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Baking

  1. 10

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 11

    Bake Croissants

    Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.

  3. 12

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the croissants to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm!
