Tips

You can freeze the unbaked croissants. After rolling up the croissants, place them on the baking sheet and place them in the freezer for a few hours (before the resting period). After they’ve frozen solid, transfer them to a Ziploc bag, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight, and then continue with baking.

If you want a more prominent cheese flavor, sprinkle the savory croissants with parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese before baking.

Don’t use baking margarine for this recipe—the butter helps to add flavor and richness to the dough!

Use all-purpose flour for best results.

If you’re using fresh yeast, use three times the amount given in the recipe. Make sure to check the best before date on your yeast to make sure it will still work!

Even though this is a savory recipe make sure that you don’t omit the sugar. This will help the yeast to do its work, creating puffy layers!
