How to Make Homemade Croissants

Step 16: Baking and Finish!

Once the oven is heated, put one tray of croissants on the top rack of the oven and the other on the bottom rack vertically. Bake for 15 minutes and switch the two racks and rotate them so they're horizontal. Bake for another 15 minutes or until they are puffed and golden brown. Wait until they are cool and serve.

You're done! Can you believe it? Fresh baked croissants. These instructions might seem long but it's not as bad as you might think. They are certainly worth the effort, especially when they're fresh from the oven. These are perfectly crunchy on the outside but soft and moist on the inside. Perfect with some jam or coffee, or just plain!

Try out my recipe! If the lure of fresh croissants isn't enough, the first person to make this and post some pictures in the comments will get a 3 month pro-membership! The next two people who attempt this recipe will get a patch from yours truly!

You can actually just leave the egg wash out of the recipe. Spritzing some water would make the outside a bit harder. Some melted butter would work well, too.
