My grandmother is turning 90 years old this Easter! AND my youngest is turning 5 years old on Good Friday! We always have a family get-together with lots of egg hunting fun and delicious food for Easter.
Quick, bite-sized appetizers are one of my favorite things to serve at any gathering. This year, I decided to create a fun spin on the usual chicken salad croissant and make these Easter themed carrot-shaped croissants!
Although making homemade croissants is a lot of work, they really aren’t that difficult to make. Plus you can do all the prep work for these days in advance. Most of the time is resting/rising time. You can pretty much stop the recipe at about any time you want and chuck the dough in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.
For this recipe, I’m using Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached White All-Purpose Flour. It is freshly milled from organic hard red wheat. Both the bran and the germ have been removed leaving the endosperm that is made into white flour. It is not enriched with any additives.
This is the same high protein flour used by professional bakers and produces high, well-textured loaves of bread equally as well as it produces light, airy baked goods. It’s perfect for all of your baking needs!
