Ingredients:
- For the Croissant Dough:
- 500g of flour
- 60g of sugar
- 40g of fresh yeast
- 30cl of warm milk
- 1 tsp of salt
- 200g of soft butter (for layering)
- For the Pistachio Ganache:
- 200g of white chocolate
- 200g of heavy cream (30% fat)
- 50g of pistachio paste
Instructions:
- Dough Preparation:
- Place flour in a mixing bowl, create two wells; in one, mix the yeast and warm milk, and in the other, combine the sugar and salt.
- Knead until the dough comes together, then incorporate the soft butter and knead for an additional 12 minutes until smooth.
- Cover and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 30 minutes, then chill for another 30 minutes.
- Laminating the Dough:
- Flatten the dough and encase the butter in the center, fold and roll out to a rectangle. Fold in thirds like a letter, rotate a quarter turn, and repeat. Complete six turns total, resting the dough in the freezer for 15 minutes between each set of two turns.
- Forming the Rolls:
- Roll the final dough out to a rectangle, slice into 4cm wide strips. Roll each strip into a spiral and place in prepared molds.
- Let rise in a warm area until doubled in size, about 1.5 hours.
- Baking:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30 minutes, covered with parchment and a heavy tray. Uncover and cool completely.
- Making and Applying the Ganache:
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler, stir in the hot cream and pistachio paste until smooth. Chill until firm, then whip to a fluffy texture.
- Pipe the whipped ganache inside and atop each cooled roll.
