Gluten-Free Croissants image

from Living Without TIP** The thinner you roll out the wedges of dough, the more "layers" your croissants will have and the flakier they will be. However, dough should not be paper-thin.

Time 1h15m

Yield 24 croissants, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup chickpea flour
1/2 cup almond meal or 1/2 cup additional flour
1 cup rice flour
1 cup tapioca starch or 1 cup flour
4 teaspoons xanthan gum
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup warm milk (milk of choice) or 1 cup water (milk of choice)
2 eggs
8 tablespoons butter or 8 tablespoons margarine, melted
12 tablespoons cold butter or 12 tablespoons margarine, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup fruit spread, warmed (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine first seven ingredients and blend well.
  • Scoop 1 cup of this flour mixture into a medium mixing bowl. Add yeast and sugar to this cup of flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Combine milk and eggs and add them to this mixture. Add melted butter and beat until smooth. Reserve.
  • In a separate bowl, cut cold butter into remaining flour mixture until butter pieces are the size of large peas. Pour in liquid batter and stir or beat until moistened throughout. Cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and press into a compact ball on a surface that has been lightly covered with rice flour. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Roll each third into a 12-inch circle with a rolling pin. Cut each circle into 8 pie-shaped wedges.
  • Separate wedges and roll out each wedge through the length of the piece so that it is about 1/8th-inch thick.* Brush each wedge with gently warmed fruit spread, if desired. Then roll up each wedge toward the point. Shape into a crescent by curving the edges.
  • Set croissants on an ungreased baking sheet or a sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic and let them rise at room temperature until doubled. (This may take 2 hours if the room is cool.)
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush each croissant wedge with egg beaten with cold water. Place croissants in preheated oven and immediately lower oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until golden.

Overall, I thought these croissants were pretty good. They weren't the best croissants I've ever had, but they were definitely a solid choice.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my croissants didn't rise very much. They were still edible, but they weren't as fluffy as I would have liked.

These croissants were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been more moist.

These croissants were a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I could find a similar recipe for less money.

These croissants were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them if they had been less sweet.

I'm not a huge fan of almond flour, but I actually really enjoyed these croissants. The almond flavor was subtle and it didn't overpower the other flavors.

These croissants were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my croissants didn't turn out very well. They were too dense and they didn't have a lot of flavor.

These croissants were a bit more dense than traditional croissants, but they were still very good.
