  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 1 minute

Ingredients

– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
– 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
– 1 large egg
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/2 cup sliced almonds
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)


Instructions

Creating Honey Butter Almond Breakfast Croissants can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and salt.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter, egg, and the frothy yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, mix softened butter, honey, sliced almonds, and vanilla extract until well combined.
7. Shape Croissants: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into triangles.
8. Fill Croissants: Place a spoonful of the honey almond mixture at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly to form croissants.
9. Second Rise: Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover them and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
10. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
11. Egg Wash: Beat the remaining egg and brush it over the croissants for a golden finish.
12. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
13. Cool: Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
14. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the croissants with powdered sugar before serving.

These steps will guide you in creating these incredible croissants effortlessly.
