  3. Now check yeast if it starts bubbling, pour this in to the maida, knead well to form a soft dough.
  4. Brush the dough with oil and place in a lightly greased container for 30 minutes in a warm place. Dough should be doubled in size by then. Take it out punch it back and knead for few seconds out until smooth.

Recipe Notes
  • First of all check, if yeast is not bubbled, discard it. That means yeast is not good or it might be very old to use.
  • For better results sift the maida for 2-3 times.
  • Knead the dough until it smooths.
  • You may also add flavors to your croissants (mix the spices/ herbs with maida).
  • You may use any herb or seeds to top your croissant.
  • Baking is always a hit and trial method as the baking time and temperature may vary on different weather conditions, the type of oven, the quality of maida and yeast. So don’t worry if you do no get it right in first attempt. Keep trying and surely you will be successful next time :).
