You don't need to many ingedients, you don't have to spend lots of time in the kitchen and they are just delicious.




 Here's what you need to make these delicious croissants:

  • 1/4 cup of warm milk, but not hot
  • 50 g of fresh yeast
  • 200 g of  soft butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 5 teaspoons of sugar
  •  2 eggs
  • about 2 spoons of  sour cream
  • for feeling : marmalade, jam, chocolate, whatever you want

STEP 1. Activating the Yeast

In a bowl, mix 1 spoon of the all- purpose flour with the warm milk, yeast and sugar, just until the flour is mixed evenly and you don't see any clumps. Set the bowl aside and let it rise for about 10 minutes.

STEP 2.  Making the Dough

Mix together the flour, soft butter along with the salt and eggs then add the activated yeast. Knead the mixture for a few minutes till it will be soft and won't stick to the bowl. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise for about 30-40 minutes. You can also put it to the fridge for 1 hour.

We're getting closer and closer to those yummy croissants! Now the dough is ready to cut the triangles which will form the croissants.



Divide the dough into three or four parts (depending on how big croissants you want to get ). Roll out the dough into a circle and then just divide it with knife just like you would cut the pizza. In the wider part put the filling and then using both hands, roll the triangle into a crescent by rolling from the base up. Moisten the top of the croissants with milk or melted butter and bake for about 12-15 minutes in the oven  preheated to 190 - 200 degrees.
