Cheat's French Croissant ! Risking my nationality on the Easiest Recipe available...

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and can provide a similar texture.

all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: bread flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber, while bread flour can improve texture.

Take two packs of pure butter puff pastry and let them come to room temperature.

Stack the two sheets of puff pastry on top of each other to thicken them.

Use a rolling pin to flatten the stacked pastry until it is about half cm thick (a fifth of an inch).

Place the flattened pastry in the freezer for about 5 minutes.

Cut the pastry into triangles, ensuring each piece looks like a thin pizza slice.

To shape the croissant, stretch the tip and the sides of the triangle, then roll it carefully without crushing it.

Place the rolled croissants on a baking tray.

Brush the croissants with an egg wash made from 1 egg and 2 tbsp of water.

Preheat the oven to 230 Celsius (440 Fahrenheit).

Bake the croissants in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool on a wood board.
