Ingredients

• 400 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Psyllium husk powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 200 grams Unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• 150 milliliters Cold water
• 1 large Egg
• 120 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add chilled and cubed unsalted butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 3

In a separate small bowl, whisk together cold water, egg, unsweetened almond milk, and apple cider vinegar until well combined.

Step 4

Slowly add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a teaspoon of cold water at a time until the dough holds together.

Step 5

Knead the dough in the bowl for about 2 minutes, then gather it into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the dough to rest.

Step 6

After chilling, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle, about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 7

Fold the rectangle into thirds, like a letter, and then roll it out again to the original size. Repeat the folding and rolling process two more times to develop flaky layers.

Step 8

After the final roll, wrap the dough again in plastic wrap and chill for another 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 10

Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out one last time into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 11

Cut the dough into triangles and gently roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a crescent shape.

Step 12

Place the formed croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 13

Brush the croissants lightly with additional unsweetened almond milk.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Step 15

Allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack before serving.
