FAQS

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. How can I ensure my croissants are extra flaky?

    Make sure to properly incorporate the butter by folding and rolling the dough multiple times, which creates layers for flakiness.

  4. Can I prepare the dough in advance?

    Yes, you can prepare the dough and refrigerate it overnight. Just allow it to come to room temperature before rolling and shaping.

  5. What is the best way to store leftover croissants?

    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.
