Croissants with puff pastry cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make croissants with cheese from puff pastry? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Traditionally, puff pastry without yeast is used for croissants, but you can also use puff pastry with yeast. The dough should be removed from the freezer about 2 hours before cooking and completely defrosted. You can make your own homemade dough. You will find the recipes after the last step.

2. STEP 2

   

   Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance. Cut the cheese into not very long cubes. The length of the blocks should not exceed the width of the widest part of the dough triangles. You can use any cheese. It will be delicious with both regular “Russian” and mozzarella. Read about different types of cheese in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   I usually use the dough in sheets, but in this case it’s better to stick with the dough rolled into a roll: you don’t even need to roll it out. It's easy enough to unfold. The width and length of the dough will be just the right length. Using a regular knife or a special pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles. You will get approximately 9-10 triangles.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place a block of cheese on the edge of the widest part of the triangle and roll the dough into a roll from the widest part to the narrow. The cheese should not go beyond the dough, but remain inside the roll. It is very important to curl the edges of the roll. This is necessary so that when baking the cheese does not leak out of the croissants onto the baking sheet.

5. STEP 5

   

   Form the remaining croissants in the same way.

6. STEP 6

   

   Beat the egg with a fork or whisk until smooth.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the croissants spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When baking, the products increase 2-3 times in size and, if they lie close, they can stick to each other. Brush the products with beaten egg. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes and bake the croissants until golden brown. The exact time depends on your oven. You can learn about the operating features of ovens in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the finished puff croissants with cheese immediately while they are hot. Bon appetit!

Thank you for the recipe for Croissants with cheese made from puff pastry. Since we didn’t even notice how we ate the first batch, I had to prepare the second one right away. There wasn’t enough cheese and I decided to make grissini sticks. Wow, very tasty 😋
