Cuisine: French
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- Croissant dough
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking the croissant rolls.
- On a clean surface, roll out the croissant dough into a rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick. If using pre-made croissant dough, follow the package instructions for rolling it out.
- In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth and well combined. This will be your glaze.
- Spread a generous layer of the Greek yogurt glaze evenly over the rolled-out croissant dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Starting from one end, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside. Pinch the edges to seal the roll.
- Once rolled, cut the log into 12 equal pieces using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter.
- Place the cut rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there is some space between each roll for expansion during baking.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of the croissant rolls for a golden finish.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Drizzle any remaining Greek yogurt glaze over the warm croissant rolls for an extra touch of sweetness before serving.
- Enjoy your Greek Yogurt Glazed Cinnamon Croissant Rolls warm or at room temperature as a delightful treat!
Tips
- Ensure your croissant dough is at the right temperature - too cold and it won't roll smoothly, too warm and it might become sticky.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter when slicing the rolls to get clean, even pieces that bake uniformly.
- Don't skip the egg wash - it's the secret to achieving that gorgeous golden-brown color and beautiful shine.
- Allow some space between rolls on the baking sheet to give them room to expand and puff up during baking.
- For an extra indulgent touch, you can sprinkle some additional ground cinnamon or powdered sugar on top of the finished rolls.
- These rolls are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days and gently reheated in the oven.
