Ingredients

• 240 g all-purpose flour
• 180 g plant-based butter
• 120 ml almond milk
• 7 g instant yeast
• 25 g granulated sugar
• 5 g salt
• 150 g vegan ham slices
• 30 g flour for dusting

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 2

Warm the almond milk gently until lukewarm, mix in the yeast, and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 3

Pour the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to form a loose dough.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a greased bowl, and cover it with a cloth. Allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Meanwhile, place the plant-based butter between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it into a flat rectangle about 1 cm thick.

Step 7

Refrigerate the butter until firm.

Step 8

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

Step 9

Roll the dough into a rectangle roughly twice the size of the butter rectangle.

Step 10

Place the chilled butter on one half of the dough and fold the other half over it, sealing the edges.

Step 11

Roll the dough out to a large rectangle again, then fold it into thirds like a letter (this is the first turn).

Step 12

Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Step 13

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

Step 14

After the final chill, roll the dough out to a large rectangle approximately 1/2 cm thick.

Step 15

Cut the dough into triangles.

Step 16

Place a slice of vegan ham at the base of each triangle and roll it up towards the point to form a croissant shape.

Step 17

Place the rolled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each.

Step 18

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 19

Let the croissants rise again for about 30 minutes until puffy.

Step 20

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.

Step 21

Allow the croissants to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
