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
Sift the flour into a large bowl, add the salt, then 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 together. Repeat this folding process three times, allowing 15-minute rests in between.
5
Mix the marzipan with the almond flour and a little powdered sugar until creamy.
6
After the final rolling, cut the dough into triangles. Place a small dollop of marzipan cream in the center of each triangle, then roll it up into a croissant shape.
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 bake them for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
When the croissants are baked, let them cool slightly, then sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.
