Prepare the Dough:
- In a large glass bowl, combine sugar, salt, oil, and milk.
- Gradually add the flour and knead until well mixed.
- Incorporate the eggs into the dough, continuing to knead.
- Add the activated yeast mixture and stir until the dough reaches a consistent texture.
-
Let the Dough Rise:
- Cover the dough with plastic wrap or place it in a plastic bag.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm place for approximately two hours.
-
Shape the Rolls:
- After the dough has risen, knead it again and divide it into four equal parts.
- Work with one part at a time.
- Roll out each part into a 25 centimeter (10 inch) circle using a rolling pin.
- Cut the flattened dough into 8 triangles.
-
Assemble the Rolls:
- Place a slice of ham on the widest part of each triangle.
- Roll up each triangle, starting from the widest part where the ham is, and roll towards the point of the triangle.
-
Bake the Rolls:
- Place the rolled-up ham croissants on a greased baking sheet or pan, with the point of the triangle folded underneath.
- Cover the rolls and let them rise for an additional hour in a warm place.
- Preheat the oven to 350-375Β°F (180-190Β°C).
- Brush melted butter on each roll.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush with either a mixture of water and sugar or with beaten egg white.
- Return the rolls to the oven and bake until they are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Enjoy the ham croissant rolls while they’re still warm and fresh out of the oven.
- They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a savory snack throughout the day.
Tips and Tricks:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh for optimal rising of the dough.
- If you have leftover rolls, they can be frozen and reheated later for a quick and delicious treat.
- For a vegetarian option, omit the ham and enjoy the flaky croissant rolls on their own or with your favorite filling.
