"Flaky Homemade Croissants: A Perfect Pastry Recipe"

Serve these croissants fresh out of the oven for the best texture.

Store any leftover croissants in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can reheat them in the oven for a few minutes to restore their flakiness.

For longer storage, you can freeze the croissants before baking. Just place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.

Variations:

Add chocolate chips or almond paste inside the croissant before rolling them up for a sweet variation.

For a savory twist, try filling them with ham and cheese.

FAQ:
Can I make these croissants in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough up to the point of shaping the croissants, then freeze them. When ready to bake, allow them to rise at room temperature for about 1 hour before baking.

What if I don’t have parchment paper?
If you don’t have parchment paper, you can use a silicone baking mat or lightly grease the baking sheet.
