Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 20 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 5 grams Instant yeast
• 120 milliliters Cold water
• 60 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 200 grams Dairy-free butter
• 200 grams Fresh strawberries
• 15 grams Powdered sugar
• 100 grams Dairy-free whipped cream
• 30 milliliters Dairy-free milk (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.

Step 2

Add the cold water and almond milk to the dry ingredients, mixing until the dough comes together.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a rectangle, cover it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Place the dairy-free butter between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out into a flat rectangle approximately 1 cm thick. Chill in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it into a large rectangle, about twice the size of the butter rectangle.

Step 7

Place the butter sheet in the center of the dough, fold the dough over the butter like an envelope, and seal the edges.

Step 8

Roll the dough into a long rectangle, then fold it into thirds like a letter. This is the first fold. Chill for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times, refrigerating for 30 minutes between each fold.

Step 10

After completing the folds, roll the dough out to a thickness of about 5 millimeters. Cut the dough into triangles.

Step 11

Place a few slices of fresh strawberries at the wide base of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly from base to tip to form croissant shapes.

Step 12

Place the croissants on a lined baking tray, cover them loosely, and let them rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 13

Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 14

Brush the croissants with dairy-free milk, then bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and flaky.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.

Step 16

Fill the baked croissants with a dollop of dairy-free whipped cream and garnish with more fresh strawberries and powdered sugar before serving.
