Sunday is our croissant day. And hubby was smart to pick this up from the supermarkt (i didn't spelled it incorrectly, this is the dutch way of writing it and pronounced as 'supermarekt').
this is available in the same koel place as that of cheese and butter
A ready-made sheets of dough! With perforation to make equally size croissant! Life can't be much easier...
HT hubby cut into the lines, and put enough sliced ham on top
added a slab of Gournay cheese to give that flavorful filling.
Gournay cheese, is named after a place in France and for this pastry we used 'Boursin' garlic and herbs (also available in Singapore). A soft and creamy cheese worked its way with our brunch.
rolled like a pro...
ta dah!
In the oven it went and here's a bunch of them.
shapes were not-so-perfect but its all about the taste...we finished all of them in one go...
Soft crunchy dough with ham and oozing cheese...HT couple had several burps with satisfaction.
The croissants texture were not that flaky as how croissants are supposed to be. But with 20 minutes of preparation, and the flakes i gathered after i've finished one, it was not bad at all.
wow sarap! kakagutom =)
ReplyDeletewow i wish we have ready made sweet dough in Singapore :)
ReplyDeleteHi Rhea...me too...i get hungry when i look at it.
ReplyDeleteHi PY, yeah...i haven't seen this ready made dough in SG...but easy to walk and get croissants in shops compared to here where every place closes down at 5 pm hahaha
