40 minutes

Croissants made from puff pastry with apricot jam are a delicate and crispy treat that embodies the coziness of Russian cuisine. Their origin goes deep into home traditions when housewives delighted their families with fragrant pastries made from accessible ingredients. Puff pastry becomes airy and flaky when baked, while apricot jam adds sweetness with a slight tartness, creating a harmonious flavor. Sesame gives a light nutty note, and the golden crust makes the croissants especially appetizing. These croissants are perfect for morning tea or coffee and can also be a wonderful dessert for cozy family evenings.
