Ingredients

• Warm milk
• Active dry yeast
• Sugar
• All-purpose flour
• Salt
• Eggs
• Unsalted butter, softened

For the Filling (Optional)

• Pastry cream or custard cream
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and a small amount of sugar. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it becomes foamy. Add the flour, salt, eggs, and softened butter, then mix until a soft dough forms.

Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover it and allow it to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.

Once risen, roll out the dough and fold it several times to create soft, buttery layers. Shape the dough into croissant-style rolls and place them on a baking tray.

Allow the rolls to rise again until they are puffy and well-expanded. If desired, brush them with beaten egg for a golden finish.

Bake until the croissants are beautifully golden brown and fully puffed.

Once slightly cooled, fill them with smooth pastry cream or custard cream using a piping bag. Finish by lightly dusting with powdered sugar before serving.

These cream-filled croissants are soft, buttery, and wonderfully indulgent, making them the perfect homemade pastry for anyone who loves elegant sweet treats. Save this recipe and follow Tinsuf for more delicious and easy-to-make baking creations. 🥐✨
