Almond brioche croissants, a pastry born from a kitchen experiment using puff pastry inspired by the Carnival “scartellate,” typical of Puglia.
The pastries turned out well, although the typical Puglian scartellate are quite different. The dough is completely different, however I obtained fragrant and very tasty brioches. 1 package (about 8 oz) ready-to-use puff pastry;
1 egg;
Almonds 2 oz;
Honey;

Steps

Brush on the beaten egg and place the roses gently on a lightly floured baking tray, leaving a little space between each one.
Bake in the oven set to 536°F for about fifteen minutes.Brush the croissants with honey warmed in the microwave for a few seconds, and sprinkle with almond crumbs obtained by pulsing some almonds in a food processor.
“Almond brioche croissants” are a wholesome snack for kids and adults alike.
It is a quick recipe that at first presents a few small difficulties in assembling the spirals, but then you get the hang of it.
