Description

Ingredients

• • 2 cups lukewarm milk
• • 1 package active dry yeast (I use Red Star)
• • 6 teaspoons sugar
• • 2 tablespoons flour
• • 1 tablespoon baking powder
• • 2 teaspoons salt
• • ½ cup vegetable oil
• • 4 eggs, separated
• • 6 cups flour
• • 1 to 2 cups of crumbled feta cheese
• • 1 stick of butter
• • Sesame seeds

Directions

• • In a large, deep mixing bowl pour in lukewarm milk.
• • Stir in the sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, and the yeast.
• • Let stand for ten minutes.
• • Add in the baking powder, salt, vegetable oil, egg whites, and 6 cups of flour.
• • Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is well incorporated, you may need to get your hands in there towards the end, then bring the dough to a lightly floured surface.
• • Knead the dough for 10 minutes.
• • Put the dough in a large bowl, cover it, and let it stand for one hour.
• • Preheat oven at 375.
• • Bring the dough back to your working area and knead it again for another 5 minutes. You want to make sure that all those air bubbles are out.
• • Form the dough into a log and cut it into 5 or 6 equal pieces.
• • Take one piece (cover the rest with a kitchen towel), and roll it out to a size as big as a medium pizza.
• • With a knife, cut the rolled out dough into 8 equal slices.
• • Place a tablespoon of cheese closer to the widest point of the slice.
• • Beginning at the widest point of the slice start rolling it towards the narrowest point.
• • Place the croissants on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• • Continue to do this with the rest of the dough.
• • In a small mixing bowl, whisk the 4 egg yolks.
• • Brush each croissant with the egg yolk.
• • Top each croissant with sesame seeds.
• • Put 4 or 5 small pieces of butter throughout the baking sheet.
• • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
• • Cover with a kitchen towel while they are cooling.
• • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container; freeze for up to 3 months.
