Description: Imagine the look on your family's face after you reach into your oven and pull out a tray of fresh, golden brown, authentic, Spicy Capicolli Sourdough Croissants.

The smell of fresh baked croissants, bubbling cheese and savory capicolli meat is mouthwatering. When you take a bite the thin layers of pastry crackle in your mouth. The croissant is buttery, sweet and yeasty. The inside is stuffed with gooey sharp cheddar cheese and ham covered in mildly spicy chili peppers (also know as capicolli).

These are seriously good croissants that you would typically have to travel to a French bakery to get. Instead, in just minutes, you could be serving them in your very own home.

About Luv Affair Pastry

Baking Instructions

How to proof: Before going to bed put the frozen pastries about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover them with plastic wrap and tea towel loosely. Place pastries somewhere that stays 20 c. to proof for about 12 hours. If they haven't risen fully it's because it's too cold, in which case they'll need more time to rise.

In the morning, preheat oven to 450 f.

Place pastries in the oven on the center rack and turn the oven down to 375 f.

Bake for about 26 minutes or until golden brown all over, including the bottom. Let cool on the pan for 10 minutes before serving.

Happy baking!
