Description

Indulge in the deliciousness of freshly baked croissants made effortlessly in your air fryer! These homemade croissants are buttery, flaky, and golden brown, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a special treat. With a few simple ingredients and steps, you can enjoy bakery-quality croissants right at home.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 2 cups Yogurt, plain, whole-milk
  • 6 tablespoons butter, unsalted, room temperature
  • 1 Egg, for egg wash

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the baking powder and salt throughout the flour.
  • Slowly fold in the yogurt to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. The yogurt adds moisture and tang, which helps create a tender croissant.
  • With a rolling pin, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Spread one-third of the butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter, creating three layers. Cover the dough and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll up each triangle to form a croissant shape.
  • Brush the top of each croissant with an egg wash.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees F (175°C) for about 3-5 minutes. Preheating ensures even cooking and helps achieve a crispy exterior.
  • Place the croissant dough in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Air fry the croissants at 350 degrees F (175°C) and set cook time for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and flaky.
