Dough and Filling
Method
Preparation
- 1
Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine warm water, milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add flour, salt, butter (melted), egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
- 2
Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Chill the Dough
Once risen, punch down the dough and wrap it in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Shape the Croissants
Roll the chilled dough into a large rectangle. Cut the dough into triangles. Place a small amount of chocolate chips or almond paste on the wide end of each triangle. Roll tightly from the wide end to the point.

Final Rise
Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 30-45 minutes.
