To create these mouthwatering Slow-Roasted Garlic Confit & Rosemary Croissants, follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) for roasting the garlic.

2. Prepare the Garlic Confit:
– Peel the garlic cloves and place them in a small baking dish.
– Cover the garlic with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped rosemary and sea salt.
– Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
– Roast for about 1.5 hours or until the garlic is soft and golden.

3. Make the Dough:
– If using homemade croissant dough, roll it out and shape it according to your preferred method. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions.

4. Incorporate the Garlic:
– Once the garlic is roasted and cooled, mash it slightly with a fork to create a spreadable consistency.
– Roll out the croissant dough into a rectangular shape.
– Spread the roasted garlic confit evenly over the dough.

5. Shape the Croissants:
– Cut the dough into triangles and roll them from the wide end to the tip to form croissants.
– Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6. Rest the Croissants:
– Cover the croissants with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

7. Prepare the Egg Wash:
– In a small bowl, whisk the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash.

8. Brush the Croissants:
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Brush the tops of the croissants with the egg wash.

9. Bake:
– Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and flaky.

10. Cool and Serve:
– Allow the croissants to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with extra rosemary sprigs if desired.
