Description

Imagine biting into a warm, flaky croissant, its delicate layers yielding to the slightest pressure. These delightful pastries offer a unique take on a classic, crafted with a blend of mozzarella and cream cheese, enriched with coconut flour and egg. The result is a surprisingly light and airy dough, reminiscent of traditional bread, but with a character all its own.

The simple ingredients come together effortlessly, making the dough quick and easy to prepare. These croissants are a wonderful addition to any meal. Using high-quality butter can elevate the flavor and richness of these croissants.

Its creamy texture melts beautifully into the dough, enhancing its delicate flavor. Feel free to keep a batch of these croissants on hand by storing them in the freezer for up to three months. When ready to enjoy, a quick zap in the microwave in short bursts will bring them back to life, or you can gently warm them in the oven until heated through.

While this recipe is designed to be savory, a touch of sweetness can easily be incorporated. Consider adding a spoonful or two of your preferred powdered sweetener to the dough for a hint of sugary goodness. These coconut flour croissants are incredibly versatile.

Enjoy them on their own, or pair them with your favorite toppings or spreads. Their subtle flavor makes them the perfect canvas for both sweet and savory accompaniments. They are especially delicious served alongside creamy cheeses, fresh vegetables, or your favorite protein.

Whether you enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these croissants are sure to satisfy your cravings for a warm and comforting treat.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat the oven to 350 F (180 C). In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the mozzarella cheese and cream cheese, Heat in the microwave on high for 45 seconds. Stir the mixture and heat again for 30-45 seconds until the cheese is melted. Stir well to combine.
    2.
    Add in the coconut flour, baking powder, and one beaten egg. Stir well to combine. There should be no dry spots.
    3.
    Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to 1/2"). Place the two pieces of parchment paper with the dough in between onto a baking sheet. Chill for 10 minutes after rolling.
    4.
    Cut the dough into large triangles, as shown in the picture. Roll each triangle starting on the widest end towards the point. Brush egg wash on the point to help it to stick (the egg wash is made by beating a whole egg and a pinch of salt). Place the croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    5.
    If there is any leftover dough, you can reroll the dough as many times as you need. Cut the dough into a single triangle at a time to form more croissants. Repeat until there isn’t enough dough left.
    6.
    Brush them with any remaining egg wash. Bake for 20-21 minutes until golden brown and puffed. Allow them to cool slightly before serving. These are best served warm from the oven.
