Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk until lukewarm, then stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, sift the flour and add the salt. Pour in the yeast mixture and the egg. Start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough until smooth, then cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
4
Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle, and place thin slices of 200 g of cold butter on it. Fold one half of the dough over the other, then roll it out again and fold it. Repeat this folding process three times, allowing 15-minute rests in between.
5
Mix the almond flour with the honey to obtain a soft filling.
6
After the final rolling, cut the dough into triangles. Place a small amount of honey-almond filling in the center of each triangle, then roll them up into croissant shapes.
7
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
8
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Brush the croissants with a little beaten egg, then sprinkle with sliced almonds, and bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Once the croissants are baked, let them cool slightly, then sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.
