The recipe for preparing quick and easy croissants to be enjoyed with a sprinkling of sugar or a delicious filling
I had only 1 egg at home, a little flour 0, a lot of fresh yeast, but an irresistible desire for brioche: how to do it? Here is the recipe for simple and delicious croissants to be prepared in quantities, cook at the moment or keep in the freezer. Their goodness is in fact, like all brioches, in the cooking just before consumption which allows us to serve them hot, warm and fragrant.
The recipe for croissants
Ingredients for a dozen croissants
150 g flour 0, 150 g flour 00, 1 egg, 85 g fresh milk, 80 g of brown sugar, 50 g of butter, 15 g of fresh brewer's yeast
Method
Melt the yeast in the warm milk no higher than 40 ° C. Melt the butter, without making it brown. Beat the sugar with the egg, then add all the other ingredients and knead by hand until you have a homogeneous and compact mixture. Roll out the dough immediately making a 3-4 mm round disc. Divide it into wedges, like a pizza and roll the croissants from the base to the tip. Spread them out, spaced about 4 cm from each other on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
You can let your croissants rise in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap overnight, or leave them directly in the oven if you eat them the next morning. In that case, brush them with a little milk and sprinkle them with brown or normal sugar.
Bake in preheated oven at 180 ° C for 10 minutes and eat immediately by stuffing them at the time of flaky cream with chocolate or jam.
Stuffing and conservation
If you want you can stuff them with a teaspoon of filling before cooking them, placing it at the base of the croissant before rolling it.
You can keep the croissants in the fridge to cook for a couple of days. In that case, keep them at room temperature for an hour before putting them in the oven. You can also keep them in the freezer: in that case let them cool in the freezer for 1 hour on a tray, then put them in an antifreeze bag.
