You can either purchase or make the basic croissants yourself, but keep in mind that the richer and higher quality the plain croissants, the Slice your plain croissants horizontally with a serrated knife. Don't cut them completely in half - you want the top of.

Steps to make Croissants (Plain, Chocolate, Cheese, and Almonds):
  1. If you have a mixer, stir flour, water, milk, sugar and yeast on low speed. Then add the salt and butter and increase the speed one level up.. (You can do this process by hand as well, which I did)
  2. Shape the dough into a rectangle, cover with a kitchen towel and a plastic wrap. Let it set out for 2 hours then chill for at least 6 hours to ideally 10 hours.
  3. Shape the butter into an 8 inch square. Chill the butter, and take it out 20 mins before starting the folding step. Place the butter in the middle of the dough and fold from each corner side like forming an envelope. Then roll out the dough to a rectangle shape, fold the dough into thirds. Return that dough to the tray cover it with kitchen towel and plastic wrap and chill it for 8 hours.
  4. Repeat the rolling and folding 2 more times for at least 6-8 hours each chilled time. You should normally see the butter bubbling out.
  5. Get the dough out and cut it by half, roll out the dough to 16 by 12 inch. Cut the edges then cut the dough to your preference of plain or chocolate. Add your fillings roll. For the chocolate you do not need to cut in a triangle shape. Just straight will work.
  6. Proof for another 90 mins. Then brush the surface with your egg wash and bake for 15 mins on 190c (375) heat. Enjoy it after
  7. Enjoy

Traditional croissant dough is a fun, but a time consuming process. Then add your favorite chocolate to the middle and roll up. Or if you want to experiment, try marzipan and sliced almonds for almond croissants, jam, or even ham and cheese. These buttery and flaky almond croissants are made from scratch, including the almond paste inside each pastry. This post has Amazon affiliate links for tools we used to make this recipe.
