Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (cold)
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/3 cup roasted unsalted pistachios (chopped)
  • Egg wash (1 egg + 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

  1. Combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a bowl. Gradually mix in warm milk until a sticky dough forms; knead until smooth.
  2. Roll out the dough into a rectangle. Place cold butter between parchment paper and flatten it; position on half of the dough.
  3. Fold over the dough to encase the butter and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the chilled dough again and fold it into thirds like a letter. Repeat this process two more times to create layers.
  5. Mix ricotta cheese, chopped pistachios, and dark chocolate chips in a bowl until well combined.
  6. Cut rolled dough into triangles, place filling at the base of each triangle, and roll tightly into crescent shapes.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush each croissant with egg wash before baking on a baking sheet for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
