Method

Croissant Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Incorporate Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine warm water and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Roll in Butter

    After the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Place the cold butter in the center and fold the dough over the butter, sealing the edges. Roll it out again and fold into thirds. Repeat this process two more times.

  5. 5

    Cut and Shape Croissants

    Roll the dough out one final time and cut it into triangles. Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle into a croissant shape. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  6. 6

    Final Rise

    Cover the croissants with a cloth and let them rise for 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Preheat Oven

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

  8. 8

    Egg Wash

    Brush the tops of the croissants with beaten egg yolk.

  9. 9

    Bake

    Bake in preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

Tipsy Filling Preparation

  1. 10

    Prepare the Filling

    In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and stir in chopped dark chocolate until melted and smooth.

  2. 11

    Add the Spirits

    Stir in the rum or whiskey until fully combined. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.

  3. 12

    Sweeten the Filling

    Add powdered sugar to the mixture, stirring until well incorporated.

Assembly and Serving

  1. 13

    Fill Croissants

    Once the croissants are baked and slightly cooled, carefully cut them open and spoon in the tipsy filling.

  2. 14

    Prepare Topping

    In a small bowl, mix powdered sugar and cinnamon together.

  3. 15

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar topping over the filled croissants and serve warm.
