Flaxseed Croissants
The croissant is one of the best-known pastries in French bakeries, and it can be prepared in countless variations. The flaxseed croissant is a healthier alternative, rich in fiber and essential fatty acids thanks to the flaxseed, while maintaining the classic croissant's light and layered texture. The whole wheat flour and almond flour help keep the dough soft and crumbly. It is an excellent choice for those who like healthier pastries but do not want to compromise on taste. If you want a more nutritious alternative to the classic croissant, this recipe is worth a try!
