Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for laminating)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, cold
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup warm milk
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup pistachio paste (for filling)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the yeast mixture by mixing warm milk, warm water, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise for about 1 hour.
- While the dough rises, shape cold butter into a rectangle between parchment paper and chill.
- Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, place the chilled butter block inside, fold over to seal edges.
- Roll out again into a long rectangle; fold into thirds like a letter and chill for 30 minutes. Repeat twice more.
- Roll out into a large rectangle again; cut triangles and add pistachio paste at wide end before rolling up tightly.
- Let rolled croissants rise on a parchment-lined baking sheet for another hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), brush croissants with beaten egg wash, and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
