Cheese and Ham Croissants - baking, bread recipe

Cheese and Ham Croissants

Freshly baked and stuffed with ham and cheese — these are brilliant straight from the oven, but they also freeze beautifully. Make a double batch while you're at it.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix all the dry ingredients for the dough in a bowl. Melt the margarine, add the liquids and warm everything to 26–28 °C. Pour the liquid into the flour mixture and mix well in a stand mixer. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour until doubled in size. If you're kneading by hand, hold back a little of the flour.

  2. 2

    Divide the dough into three equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a round pizza-like circle, then cut into six triangles. Place a slice of ham and two slices of cheese on each triangle, then roll them up starting from the wide end.

  3. 3

    Place the horns on a baking tray lined with baking paper, making sure the tip is tucked underneath. Cover with a cloth and let them proof for about 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle over sesame seeds or poppy seeds. Bake at 200 °C for 15–20 minutes until golden. Cool on a wire rack.
