Ingredients

  

• 500 g ready-made yeast dough

3. Unroll the dough and cut it into triangular wedges, place filling on the wide end and roll up into a croissant.
   
4. Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet, brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

6. Bake in an oven preheated to 180-190 °C for 25 minutes; let the finished croissants cool.
   

Tips

• If you want, you can make the yeast dough yourself, but ready-made frozen dough saves a lot of time.
• Both fresh and frozen spinach work: if using frozen, thaw and squeeze it out first.
• Don't skip the hour of proofing in a warm spot - it's what makes the croissants puff up nicely.
