Ingredients
Scale
- 1 batch sourdough croissant dough
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare your sourdough croissant dough according to your preferred recipe.
- After the final fold and chill, roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
- Cut the dough into triangles.
- Place a small spoonful of strawberry jam at the wide end of each triangle.
- Roll each triangle tightly from the wide end to the point, forming a croissant shape.
- Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them proof in a warm place until visibly puffy (this can take 2-4 hours, depending on your dough and environment).
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Brush the proofed croissants with the beaten egg wash.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.
Notes
- For best results, use a good quality strawberry jam or prepare your own.
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for optimal dough rise.
- The proofing time can vary significantly based on the temperature of your kitchen.
- Croissants are best enjoyed fresh on the day they are baked.
