Brioche Croissant with Poppyseed Apple Filling

These are the best brioche croissants.
They are really soft and fluffy, filled with a poppyseed-apple filling. But there is no limit. You can also fill them with a nut filling or Nutella.

These croissants are made from a fine yeast dough. Using only egg yolk makes them very soft.

Not everyone likes to make a yeast dough, thinking it is not easy to handle. But you actually cannot do much wrong. This dough has to be kneaded well and then left to rest for some time in a warm place.

From this recipe you can get 32 croissants. on the next day everything was eaten up and the kids said I could bake more right away. So that means they really tasted good. 🙂
