Frozen Croissant Prep & Baking Instructions
Serves 6
Equipment Needed
- sheet pan
- parchment paper
- pastry brush
- whisk (small)
- bowl (small)
- one egg & 2 Tbsp Milk
The night before:
- Remove the frozen croissants from the packaging. Place evenly on a parchment-covered sheet pan. There should be no more than 6 croissants on a standard cookie sheet pan.
- Cover lightly with plastic wrap and place on the counter to thaw and proof overnight or for 10 to 12 hours at room temperature (approx. 68– 72 degrees). The pastries will double in size. Time will vary depending on the temperature in your home.
The day of:
- - Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- - Make an egg wash: mix 1 beaten egg yolk with 2 tablespoons of milk in a small bowl.
- - Using a pastry brush, lightly brush (they’re fragile!) egg wash over the croissants just before placing them in the oven. This will create a golden-brown shine.
- - Place croissants on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the croissants appear golden brown in color.
- - Remove from the oven and serve.
Baker’s Tip
- If you don’t have parchment paper, a Silpat is your next best option. Do not use wax paper in the oven!
