Preparation
Step 1
Remove the dough from the freezer in advance and let it thaw. It’s best to do this in the refrigerator so it defrosts slowly without losing quality. Use thick jam - a runny one may leak during baking.
Step 2
Lightly flour your work surface and place the dough on it. Begin rolling it out gently in different directions. You’ll feel which way it rolls easier - roll that way to preserve the dough’s layered structure. Although puff pastry is usually not rolled thin, in this recipe it’s important. Roll it out to a few millimeters thick.
Step 3
Cut the rectangle into three equal strips, then cut each strip diagonally to make 6 triangles. Make a small slit at the base of each triangle - this will help form the croissant shape.
Step 4
Place a small spoonful of jam at the base of each triangle.
Step 5
Make one fold of dough over the filling, slightly pulling the ends outward - the slit helps here. Pinch the dough lightly to keep the filling in place.
Step 6
Continue rolling the dough toward the tip, bending the ends slightly to create a crescent shape.
Step 7
Line a baking sheet (about 12x16 inches / 30x40 cm) with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Arrange the croissants on it, leaving space between them as they’ll rise during baking. You should get about 12 croissants from two sheets of dough.
Step 8
Cover the baking sheet with a towel and let the croissants rest for about 10 minutes. Then brush each one with a beaten egg. It’s easiest to use a silicone brush.
Step 9
Bake the croissants in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C), using top-and-bottom heat, for about 20 minutes. Adjust the baking time and temperature according to your oven. They should puff up and turn golden brown. Dust the finished croissants with powdered sugar before serving.
