Kabocha Squash Croissants
- 150 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 50 grams Cake flour
- 100 grams Kabocha squash
- 5 grams Skim milk powder
- 10 grams Sugar
- 3 grams Natural Salt
- 15 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 130 grams Soy milk
- 3 grams Dry yeast
- 3 tbsp Grated cheese
- 1 Powdered cheese / cinnamon sugar / Sliced almonds
- Cut the kabocha squash into small chunks and soften either by boiling or popping them in the microwave.
- Add all of the ingredients except for the toppings and grated cheese into the bread machine and let the machine do the work until the first rising.
- Once risen, take out of the bread machine, roll into a ball and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a 18 x 30 cm rectangle and spread 1 tablespoon of grated cheese around the center.
- Fold into 3 layers and roll out to the original size.
- Turn the dough 90, spread another tablespoon of grated cheese in the middle, fold into 3 layers again and roll out once more.
- Repeat steps 4 & 5 once more.
- Don't worry if the dough tears a little here, it's not filled with butter.
- Roll the dough out to 18 x 30 cm again and cut into 8 triangles as shown in the photo.
- Make a 1cm cut in the middle of the triangle and whilst stretching the tips of pastry a little, curl them away from you as shown in the photo.
- Now roll it into a croissant shape.
- Spray with water and wrap to prevent drying out.
- Leave to rise until double in size.
- Brush over the glaze and top with what you like.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 200C for 13 - 14 minutes.
- Roll up the left over croissant dough and bake these too!
- These croissants are unsweetened so they make great sandwiches as well.
