  • Croissant Make Tips

    1. I also made coconut puff pastry; the method for making the pastry dough is the same as for the croissant buns. The item on the right side of the board in Picture 9 is the coconut filling. 2. How to make the coconut filling: 10g butter, 15g desiccated coconut, 6g brown sugar. Mix the ingredients well, then knead them into small balls. 3. You do not need to roll the dough for the coconut puff pastry into a triangle; simply flatten it, shape it into a circle with your hands as much as possible, wrap the filling inside, and seal the edges. Once sealed, flatten the dough and make two cuts on the surface with a knife.
