Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup roasted unsalted pistachios (chopped)
  • Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and a pinch of salt. Gradually mix in warm milk to form a sticky dough. Knead until smooth and elastic.
  2. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Place cold butter between parchment paper and flatten it, then position it on one half of the rolled dough.
  3. Fold the other half over the butter and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough again into a rectangle and fold into thirds like a letter; repeat this folding two more times to create layers.
  5. In another bowl, mix ricotta, chopped pistachios, and dark chocolate chips; set aside.
  6. Cut the rolled dough into triangles. Add filling at the base of each triangle and roll tightly into crescent shapes.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush croissants with egg wash and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown.
