Ingredients

Scale

3 cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp salt
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
1 cup cold unsalted butter
¾ cup cold milk
1 cup ground pistachios
½ cup powdered sugar
¼ cup almond flour
1 egg (for filling and wash)
2 tbsp crushed pistachios (for topping)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, blend flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Add cold milk and mix until dough forms.
Incorporate sliced cold butter into the dough to create layers. Chill in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and fold it into thirds. Rotate and repeat rolling and folding three more times, chilling between folds.
For the filling, mix ground pistachios, powdered sugar, almond flour, softened butter, egg, and vanilla until smooth. Refrigerate.
Roll out laminated dough to ¼ inch thick; cut into triangles. Place a spoonful of filling on each triangle and roll from wide end to point.
Let shaped croissants rise for 1 to 1.5 hours until puffed.
Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with crushed pistachios before baking at 375°F (190°C) for 18-22 minutes until golden brown.
