Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Instant yeast
- 50 grams Sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 250 ml Unsweetened soy milk
- 250 grams Vegan butter, chilled
- 100 grams Fruit jam of choice (e.g., strawberry, apricot)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to incorporate the ingredients evenly.
Step 2
Warm the soy milk until lukewarm, then gradually pour it into the dry ingredients while stirring to form a dough.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in size.
Step 5
Once the dough has risen, punch it down to remove excess air, then roll it into a rectangle, roughly 25x12 inches.
Step 6
Take the chilled vegan butter and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, flatten it into a rectangle measuring approximately 8x12 inches.
Step 7
Position the butter rectangle in the center of the rolled dough. Fold the edges of the dough over the butter, enclosing it completely.
Step 8
Roll the dough lengthwise until you achieve a rectangle approximately 25x12 inches. Fold this rectangle into thirds, much like a letter, then wrap it in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 9
After chilling, roll out the dough again into a 25x12 inch rectangle, fold into thirds, and refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Repeat this step two more times to create flaky layers.
Step 10
After the final chilling, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch. Trim the edges to make an even rectangle and divide this into 12 triangles.
Step 11
Place about a teaspoon of jam at the wide end of each triangle.
Step 12
Starting from the wider end, roll each triangle towards the tip, forming crescent shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring the tip is tucked under.
Step 13
Cover the croissants loosely with a cloth and allow them to rise again for 30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Step 14
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 15
Bake the croissants for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Step 16
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before enjoying your delicious dairy-free croissants with jam.
