Preparation
Almond Paste
- Whisk egg, butter, and almond extract. Blend it with almond flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. This will be the almond paste – set it aside.
Croissant
- Dissolve sugar and dry yeast in warm milk. This first step is going to activate the yeast.
- Whisk salt and flour.
- Mix the wet and the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Knead them until we get homogenous dough. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for 2hrs or until the dough gets doubled in size.
- Roll the dough into a long rectangular shape and spread the butter all over the top of it. Knead the dough again until the butter is evenly mixed.
- Roll the dough into a long rectangular shape again and with the help of a knife or a pizza cutter, cut it into small triangles.
- Put one heaped tablespoon of the almond paste on each triangle and shape them into croissants.
- Put them in a baking pan, apply the egg wash, cover the baking pan with plastic wrap and let the croissant buns rise for two more hours or until they puff up a little.
- After this time, remove the plastic wrap, apply another egg wash on the croissant buns and bake them at 200 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 180 degrees, take the leftover almond paste and spread it over each almond croissant. Sprinkle sliced almond over each croissant and bake them for another 5-8 minutes or until they turn golden.
- Let them cool. Dust powdered sugar over the top of each croissant.
