Quick and Easy Croissants Recipe
A couple of weeks ago I tried my hand at making croissants!
I love croissants and I suggest you give it a try. The dough recipe is amazing to work with and even though it was the first time for me, worked out great! It was awesome to see the finished product. I never thought I could make my own croissants so I’m sure anyone can do it if I can. I’m so proud of this recipe and I hope you give it a try.
