Ingredients:
- 360 grams of flour
- 1 teaspoon of instant yeast
- 40 grams of melted butter
- 220 ml of milk
- 40 grams of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of orange blossom water
Instructions:
- Dough Preparation:
- In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, yeast, melted butter, milk, sugar, and orange blossom water. Knead for 10 minutes to form a smooth, non-sticky dough. Add more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 1 hour to rise.
- Forming Croissants:
- Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 2-3 cm thick. Cut into triangles with a 7 cm base.
- Make a small cut at the center of each base to help roll the croissants.
- Tightly roll each triangle from the base to the tip. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each for expansion.
- Second Rise:
- Allow the shaped croissants to rest for at least 1.5 hours until they have doubled in size.
- Frying:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pan to a medium heat (not boiling). Fry the croissants, turning once, until each side is golden brown.
- Remove and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Finishing Touches:
- Roll the warm croissants in granulated sugar to coat.
- Using a knife, make a small hole in each croissant and fill with chocolate spread or your choice of filling.
