Ingredients
Product | amount |
Milk | 250 ml |
Margarine (butter) | 100 g |
Wheat flour | 550-600 g |
Egg | 2 pcs. |
Yeast | 1 tsp |
Sugar | 3 tbsp. l |
Vanilla sugar | 1.5 tsp |
Boiled condensed milk | 300 g |
Step cooking
- We heat milk to a temperature of 40-42 degrees. You can check the temperature using a food thermometer, or by dipping a finger into it. It should be warm, but not scorching. Separate the yolks from the proteins in different bowls.
- Pour warm milk into a deep bowl. Add the separated yolks. Proteins are set aside for now, we will need them a little later.
- Melt 100 g of margarine or butter, cool to room temperature and add to milk and yolks.
- After that, add 1 tbsp. l regular sugar, 1.5 tsp. vanilla and 1 tsp dry fast yeast. Mix thoroughly.
- Gradually introduce the sifted flour into the mixture and begin to knead the dough.
- At first it is easier to do with a spatula or spoon, and then knead with your hands. If necessary, you can switch to a work surface or a silicone baking mat, after a little dusting with flour. Please note that the amount of flour may vary slightly from what is stated in the recipe. It depends on the properties of a particular flour and the amount of gluten in it.
- The dough should be soft and elastic. Cover the dough with a towel and set in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours.
- After the dough increases noticeably, we crush it a little to get rid of excess airiness. But do not be zealous. We do everything gently and accurately. After that, divide the dough into 4 parts.
- Roll each part into a circle 5-8 mm thick. Divide the circle into 8 segments.
- On each segment closer to the edge we spread 1 tsp. boiled condensed milk.
- We bend the edge and press it as best as possible so that the condensed milk does not leak out during cooking. Next, we pull the sharp tip a little and turn off the croissant.
- After that, dip in protein and immediately in sugar. We perform the same sequence of actions with each segment.
- We lay the blanks for croissants on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and leave them to proof for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, put a baking sheet in it and bake for 15 minutes. Enjoy your meal!
