EQUIPMENT:

Mixing bowl
Vessel
Spatula
Rolling pin
Parchment paper
Baking tray
Knife

INGREDIENTS:

½ tsp. baking powder
Two cups of almond flour
Six pieces of deli ham
1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
Half teaspoon salt
Two tablespoons cream cheese
Six cheddar cheese slices
One large egg

INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

Eggs are used to combine the components, and they also form the structure in them. Flex eggs serve as a great vegan alternative.

ALMOND FLOUR:

Use the almond flour to form the dough. It adds a nutty taste to the dish. Sunflower seed flour or coconut flour is a substitute for this flour.

CREAM CHEESE:

Use the cream cheese to prepare the dough. Cream cheese is often softened so that it doesn’t form lumps.

HAM:

Ham provides the savory flavor in the dish, and it also increases the protein content in it. Use the roast, turkey, beef, or chicken slices instead for this purpose.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

Mozzarella cheese will add smoothness, and it melts well. Use the white or provolone cheese instead for this purpose.

BAKING POWDER:

Flour

Baking powder helps to raise the croissants and prevents them from getting dense. Use the baking soda along with lime juice instead for this purpose.

CHEDDAR CHEESE:

Cheddar cheese provides a strong, cheesy flavor. Use the Gouda, Swiss, or Monterey Jack instead for this purpose.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Set the temperature of the empty oven to 180°C.
Put baking paper on a sheet. In a container, combine the cream and mozzarella cheese.
Melt them in the microwave for two minutes until they are smooth.
To the cheese mixture, add the eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk them well to make a smooth dough.
Between pieces of parchment paper, roll the dough into a huge round.
Make six triangle wedges, then place a piece of ham and cheese on top of each one.
Next, fold and roll the dough diagonally to form the croissant shape.
Place them on a sheet and spread the egg wash over them.
Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

TIPS:

While the dough is still warm, quickly shape it for convenience.
Don’t use too much filler to avoid leaks while baking. Reheat the dough gently to soften it if it gets stiff.
We use parchment paper to keep the dough from sticking to our hands.

FAQs:

Will I make use of coconut flour?

Yes, you can use this flour; but, because it absorbs water, you will need to adjust the amount. It is better to use almond flour.

Does the dough have to be made beforehand?

Yes, you may chill it for a full day, warm it a little, and then roll.

Why does my dough get sticky?

It might not be sufficiently chilled. You can either chill it perfectly or add a tiny bit more almond flour.

Do these croissants feel as crunchy as the original?

These croissants are soft and slightly crispy, in contrast to real pastries.
