Indulge in a flaky, buttery croissant filled with a rich and creamy pistachio paste, perfect for a luxurious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/2 cup pistachio paste
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup cold milk
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 large egg (for egg wash)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and honey in warm milk and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add cubed cold butter and blend using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Pour in the yeast mixture and gently mix until a dough forms. Do not overwork.
  4. Shape the dough into a rectangle, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a large rectangle, spread pistachio paste evenly over the dough, then fold and roll to create layers.
  6. Cut the dough into triangles, roll each triangle from the wide end to the tip to form croissants.
  7. Place croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  8. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush croissants with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  10. Cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle chopped pistachios before serving.

Notes

For extra richness, serve warm with a drizzle of honey or alongside fresh berries.
