About this recipe

I love puff pastry homemade za’atar croissants without the extra time and fuss. These mini croissants are sinfully easy to make and are absolutely delicious. They are perfect for mornings, parties, or your next coffee break. Make a batch of them with just 3 ingredients for a wonderful Middle Eastern-style breakfast.

Traditional croissant dough is a time-consuming process. I loved the experience of making them with our family friends and I know you all loved watching us make them on Instagram. If you missed it, you can watch it here. It was so much fun! Making croissants from scratch, however, doesn’t fit the ‘achievable easy recipes’ I’m all about.

Notes from Rouba

  • The puff pastry sheet needs to be thawed before use.
  • Za’atar herb can be found in specialty Middle Eastern stores.
  • Ready puff pastry sheets may vary in size depending on the brand or place you live in.

Method

Step 1.

Preheat oven to 180°. Line a baking pan with baking paper.

In a small bowl mix the oil and za’atar herb and stir. You don’t want a runny za’atar mix so add the olive oil slowly or as required. Set aside.

Step 2.

Thaw out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 5 triangles with a bottom width of about 5 cm.

Step 2.

Then cut a 1-2 cm slit in the middle of the flat edge. The slit will help widen the dough as you roll and create a traditional shape.

Spread za’atar all over each triangle. This is best done using your hands.

Start rolling outwards from the flat edge (where the slit is) towards the point, making sure the tip is underneath.

Gently bring both points inwards slightly to form a crescent shape.

Step 3.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the croissants are cooked through and golden in colour.

This post is meant to be a recipe, but I can’t ignore what’s been happening 👉🏽👉🏽The last seven months have been incredibly challenging, watching thousands of innocent Palestinians being slaughtered in the name of self-defence 💔 It’s an excuse to ethnically cleanse the indigenous people of the land. But what I’ve seen in the last 24 hours has absolutely shattered me 😞

Families were told to move for their safety, only to be burnt alive. I forced myself to watch videos of beheaded babies—images that will never leave my mind. The destruction, the horrific scenes, and the screams are etched in our hearts and minds💔

And yet, our government responds with a mere, “It’s concerning.” Our tax money has contributed to the slaughter of these innocent people; our tax money has contributed to funding this genocide. 

I feel heartbroken and helpless. How can the world just watch? How can anyone say, “I’m staying out of this”?

I’m not ok. Are you?
