Preparation Steps
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and matcha powder.
3
In a separate bowl, warm the milk until lukewarm. Add the yeast and let it stand for 5 minutes to activate.

Add the eggs, lukewarm milk-yeast mixture, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Start combining the ingredients.
5
Crumble in the cold butter and knead until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
6
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm). Cut into equal-sized triangles.
7
Roll up the triangles into croissant shapes and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8
Let the croissants proof for 20 minutes to allow them to become lighter before baking.
9
Brush the tops with egg wash and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
10
Once cooled, sprinkle with a little extra matcha powder before serving.
