Very simple croissant recipe
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. These rolls aren't overly airy—in fact, quite the opposite: they have such an ideal texture that they turn out perfectly balanced between moist and dry. For the best dough, I recommend using high-fat cottage cheese, blending it with a mixer if desired. As a filling, you can use jam, chocolate pieces, poppy seeds, or a cottage cheese mixture. You can decorate the pastries with chocolate, coconut flakes, powdered sugar, or syrup—your choice. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
