SUPER SOFT CROISSANT CAKE WITH NUTELLA, perfect recipe for breakfast or snack for adults and children, made with sourdough or yeast, without butter.
Perfect for Easter, great for breakfast or snack, the croissant cake with Nutella is very simple, mine is made with sourdough but yeast works well too.
A very soft leavened dessert, it takes little time to prepare the croissant cake with Nutella, obviously the rising time is quite long if using sourdough but it’s worth it.
Follow me in the kitchen today, there’s a super soft croissant cake with Nutella!
- Difficulty: Very Easy
- Cost: Very Cheap
- Rest time: 6 Hours
- Preparation time: 30 Minutes
- Portions: About 20 small croissants
- Cooking methods: Oven
- Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
- 4 3/4 cups All-purpose flour (or whatever you have at home, even whole grain or semolina)
- 4 1/4 oz Sourdough Starter (or 6 g of yeast)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 3/4 cups Milk
- 7 tbsp Sugar
- 4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Nutella
Preparation
Dissolve the yeast in the milk, pour the flour into a bowl and add half of the milk.
Mix a little then add the sugar and oil, mix again adding the remaining milk a little at a time.
The dough should be soft and a bit sticky, if it’s firm it’s still fine, the important thing is that you can work it, it shouldn’t be hard so if need be, add more milk.
Let the dough rest covered with plastic wrap until it doubles, better overnight or about 6 hours.
In the end, take the dough and roll it out forming a rectangle or more rectangles 3 or 4 inches high.
4 inches is the size of a classic croissant, 3 inches are smaller like mine, I recommend them because they fit better on the tray.
Cut the triangles, should be about 20, I made half of the dough and got 10 small croissants.
Fill the croissants with Nutella, roll from the base, and curve the tips inward.
Line a 9-10 inch baking tray with parchment paper and place the croissants, see HERE
Let rise 1-2 hours in a preheated oven turned off.
Turn the oven to 355°F fan setting, bring it to temperature, and bake the croissant cake.
Bake for a maximum of 15-20 minutes, no more, in case do a toothpick test but 15 minutes with the preheated oven should be more than enough.
Remove from oven and dust with powdered sugar.
Bon appétit
