Categories     Breakfast, Brunch

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

350g pack croissant dough (we used Jus-Rol)
50g extra mature cheddar , grated
30g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, finely grated
2 tbsp za'atar
1 egg , beaten

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Unroll the croissant dough and use a knife to separate the dough triangles. Scatter all of the cheddar, ¾ of the parmesan and 1½ tbsp of the za'atar over the dough triangles, pressing the mixture in with your hands so that it sticks.
  • Starting from the base of one triangle, roll the dough upwards towards the narrow point. Bend each end in slightly to form a croissant shape. Repeat with the remaining dough. Put the croissants on the lined baking tray, brush each one with the beaten egg and sprinkle over the remaining parmesan and za'atar. Bake for 15-20 mins until deep golden brown.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients for the best results. Use fresh thyme leaves, unsalted butter, and all-purpose flour.
  • Follow the recipe carefully step-by-step. Laminating the dough is an important step in creating flaky croissants.
  • Be patient with the rising process. The dough needs time to rise properly in order to develop its flavor and texture.
  • Preheat the oven and baking sheet before baking the croissants. This will help them to rise evenly and bake properly.
  • Brush the croissants with egg wash before baking. This will help them to brown and develop a golden crust.
  • Do not over-bake the croissants. They should be baked until they are golden brown and cooked through.
