This recipe for croissants in the airfryer is a quick and easy way to make crispy, delicious croissants without using a traditional oven. Perfect for a cosy breakfast or as part of a brunch spread. The airfryer makes sure the croissants turn golden and flaky, with minimal prep time and cleanup.
Equipment
- 1 Air fryer
- 1 Paper towel
- 1 Dough scraper
Ingredients
- 1 pcs puff pastry or canned croissant dough
- 1 pcs egg
- 1 pcs chocolate buttons Or jam, cheese, ham, etc.
Instructions
- Prepare your airfryer by preheating it to 180°C. This ensures the croissants start baking right away and get a nice golden surface.(Pre-program it, or let it run for a couple of minutes before cooking.)
- Roll out 1 pcs puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. If you're using ready-made croissant dough, you just need to separate the dough along the perforated lines.
- Add filling to each croissant before rolling, if you like.Place 1 pcs chocolate buttons or a small amount of your chosen filling on the widest end of the dough, and roll the dough up tightly towards the pointed end to form a croissant shape.Brush with 1 pcs egg
- Place the croissants slightly apart in the airfryer basket. They will expand during baking, so make sure to give them room to do so.
- Lightly brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg. This will give them a lovely golden colour once they're baked.
- Bake the croissants in the airfryer at 180°C for about 8-10 minutes. Or until they're golden and flaky. The baking time can vary depending on your airfryer model, so keep an eye on them along the way.Start the online kitchen timer here
- Remove the baked croissants from the airfryer and let them cool. On a rack for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
-The airfryer's efficiency can vary, so the first time you make croissants it's a good idea to start by baking one as a test to find the perfect baking time for your model.
-For a vegan version you can leave out the egg or replace it with a plant-based milk or melted plant-based butter.
-Experiment with different fillings for variety and to suit your taste. Croissants are incredibly versatile and can be adapted to any flavour.
