How to make croissants - so easy! These are tasty, healthier, croissants that only take 20 mins to make.
Equipment
- 1 Baking tray
- 1 Knife
- 1 Aluminium foil or baking paper
- 1 Egg wash brush
- 1 Small bowl
- 1 Fork
- 1 Sieve
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet - shop bought
- 50 grams Chocolate (you can use any chocolate you like)
- 1 small Egg (room temperature)
- 1 tbsp Icing sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to gas mark 4 which is 177 degrees Celsius (°C) and 350 degrees Fahrenheit (°F)
- Roll out your shop bought puff pasty as per photo 2.
- Cut triangles using your knife as per photo 3 and break up your chocolate into chunks using your hands and place at near the wider part of each triangle. Cut a tiny slit at the bottom of each triangle. This will help you to pick up the puff pastry for rolling.
- Roll each triangle into a roll.
- Place each croissant onto a lined baking tray. Crack open your egg in a bowl and whisk using your fork. Do a light egg wash using your brush on top of each croissant and then pop the tray into the oven.
- Bake for 15 mins, remove, let the croissants cook down for 2 mins.
- Dust the croissants with your icing sugar using a sieve. Then enjoy!
Notes
- The egg wash gives the croissants a golden colour when baked.
- The icing sugar gives a lovely hint of sweetness to the pastry.
