These vegan croissants are flaky, buttery, and delicious. They are perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant-based milk
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, until foamy.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. Add the yeast mixture, softened vegan butter, plant-based milk, and apple cider vinegar to the flour mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  7. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  8. Repeat the folding and rolling process 2 more times.
  9. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  10. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  11. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  12. Cut the dough into triangles.
  13. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle into a crescent shape.
  14. Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them.
  15. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  16. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality vegan butter.
  • Do not overwork the dough, as this can make the croissants tough.
  • The croissants can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • You can freeze unbaked croissants for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before baking.
