Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 30 min
Yield: 16
Ingredients: 40 g fresh yeast; 100 g granulated sugar; 250 ml whipping cream (30 %); 2 egg yolks; 1 whole egg; grated zest of 1 lemon; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 500 g plain flour (preferably for fine pastries); a pinch of salt; 80 g melted butter; favorite jam (e.g. apricot, strawberry, cherry); 1 beaten egg; 200 g powdered sugar; 5 tablespoons hot water

Preparation procedure

Preparing the starter and dough Crumble the yeast and mix with the sugar until a pasty mixture forms. In a bowl whisk together the cream, yolks, egg, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Add the sifted flour, a pinch of salt and the starter. Work into a smooth dough. Finally incorporate the melted butter. Cover with a cloth and let rise for about 1 hour.
Shaping the rolls Divide the risen dough into two parts. Roll each part into a circle about 32 cm in diameter and cut into 8 triangles. Place a teaspoon of jam on the wider side and roll up into a crescent shape (croissant).
Second rising and baking Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, cover with a cloth and let rise for another 30 minutes. Then brush them with the beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 15–20 minutes until golden.
Glaze and final touches Mix the powdered sugar with hot water and whisk into a smooth glaze. Once the rolls have cooled, spread the glaze over them and let it set.
