FAQS
Can I use a different type of flour for this recipe?
Yes, you can use bread flour for a chewier texture, but all-purpose flour is recommended for the best results.
What can I substitute for almond paste if I don't have it?
You can make a homemade version by blending blanched almonds with sugar and a little bit of water or use marzipan as an alternative.
How can I ensure my croissants are extra flaky?

Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for best results.
