First, preheat the oven to 190ºC with top and bottom heat for a few minutes.

Take the puff pastry out of the fridge and spread it out on a clean, flat surface. Using a knife or pizza cutter, divide the dough into elongated triangles (as if you were cutting a pizza); this shape is key to achieving the classic croissant roll. If you want to add a filling (such as a small piece of chocolate or a teaspoon of jam), place it on the widest part of the triangle.

Next, roll each triangle from the base towards the tip, forming the croissant. You can slightly curve the ends to give them the traditional crescent shape.

Place the croissants on a baking tray with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them. Beat the egg with the milk and brush the surface of the croissants so they turn golden and shiny when baked.

Bake them for 15-20 minutes, until they are well browned and the pastry looks crispy.

Once out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. If you prefer the sweet version, you can sprinkle icing sugar on top. They are also delicious accompanied by fruit, coffee, or hot chocolate.

How to prepare the best gluten-free croissants at home

Achieving a gluten-free croissant that is truly crispy and with a light interior has long been the great challenge of gluten-free baking. However, enjoying a freshly baked and tender pastry is much simpler than it seems if you have the right base.

The secret is in the ready-to-use puff pastry

The real key to success for this recipe is the lamination. To facilitate the process and guarantee a professional result without complications, we recommend using our handcrafted gluten-free puff pastry. This dough has already been worked with the exact folds so that, when entering the oven, the layers separate naturally, creating surprising volume and texture.

Tips for perfect baking

For your gluten-free croissant to turn out perfect, you just have to follow these simple steps:

  1. Handling: Take the dough out of the fridge just before using it so that it maintains its firmness.
  2. Shaping: Cut long triangles and roll them from the base to the tip without pressing too hard, allowing the air to circulate between the layers.
  3. Oven: Preheat your oven well so that the thermal shock makes the gluten-free croissant rise correctly.
