Welcome to the recipe for croissants.

Mix 600 grams of baker's flour with 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of dried yeast, and 6 teaspoons of sugar in a bowl.

Warm 390 ml of milk slightly and slowly add it to the dry ingredients, mixing until combined.

Transfer the dough to a bowl and let it prove for 30 minutes.

Prepare almond filling by mixing 2 tablespoons of ground almonds, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a bowl. Optionally add almond extract.

After 30 minutes, take the dough out and shape it into a large piece.

Cut the dough in half and then cut into six pieces, letting them rest for 10-15 minutes.

Flour the surface and roll out each piece of dough thinly to create layers.

Layer the rolled dough with softened butter, stretching it out to cover the surface.

If the dough resists rolling, let it rest for another 15-20 minutes.

Wrap the layered dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, take the dough out and roll it out again on a floured surface.

Cut the rolled dough into triangles and roll them up tightly from the base to the tip.

For almond croissants, stretch the dough a bit and add some almond filling before rolling.

Apply egg wash on top of the croissants and sprinkle with slivered almonds for decoration.

Let the croissants prove for 30 minutes in a warm place.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the croissants for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
