Today, we are sharing details of an event where we tasted incredibly aromatic croissants. On January 31, at a master class in the Chef University Academy, Best Way Foods technologist Nadiya Ivanova shared with us perfect recipes for puff pastry.

French croissants are not only a dessert dish but also an excellent base for breakfasts or snacks. They can be served with a variety of fillings, such as vanilla or dairy cream, chocolate, and fruit, as well as savory versions with red fish, avocado, and egg. Choose your perfect recipe, and we suggest recreating our ideas. Because delicious fresh croissants are not just about France!

The main secret of puff pastry for croissants is special high-quality butter and the mixing technology. For the dough, we used the following ingredients from our assortment: Traditional Debic 82% butter and Debic Croissant butter. The base for the filling was Debic cream cheese.

We tasted both sweet and savory versions in Nadiya Ivanova’s signature performance. During preparation, maximum precision in proportions and temperature control was maintained using Best Way Foods extrusion. This is vital for the dough's rise, creating a crispy crust on the outside while leaving a delicate, airy consistency inside.

 

Savory Croissant

We were offered a grain croissant with the addition of Campos tuna in oil and lettuce—a harmonious combination of a creamy-cereal base and filling. The advantage of dough made with high-quality Debic butter is that it retains its shape for many hours, even when combined with a moist filling. This makes it convenient for snacks or storing several ready-made portions. And what an aroma!

Sweet Variations

Chocolate filling with strawberry pieces, pistachio cream with raspberry, and a classic chocolate croissant—these were a few of our favorite recipes from the master class. The main components here were Aptunion fruit inclusions, Santo Santaniello almond slices, and Mona Lisa chocolate decor.

 

Even the most demanding gourmets were not left indifferent to such original ideas. We invite you to see for yourself that puff pastry is not difficult at all with Best Way Foods!
