Croissant Base

Turkey Filling

Egg Wash

Method

Croissant Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the active dry yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, until it becomes frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the frothy yeast mixture, softened butter, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Turkey Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, combine shredded turkey, softened cream cheese, Dijon mustard, chopped spinach, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Croissant Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Roll Out the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a large rectangle, approximately 1/4-inch thick.

  2. 7

    Cut and Shape Croissants

    Cut the dough into triangles (about 5 inches wide at the base). Place a generous tablespoon of turkey filling at the base of each triangle, then roll them up tightly towards the point.

  3. 8

    Prepare for Baking

    Place the rolled croissants on a lined baking sheet, with the point tucked underneath. Cover with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

  4. 9

    Egg Wash

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush this mixture over the tops of the croissants for a golden finish.

  5. 10

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
