For all of you that love Croissants as much as I do, here's a quick and easy way to prepare them by making the dough in your bread machine, then rolling, shaping and baking in your oven. So good!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup evaporated milk
3 tablespoons (1.5 ounce/42g) butter, at room temperature
1 egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
3 cups bread flour
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast

Instructions:
Have liquid ingredients at 80 degrees F/26 degrees C and all others at room temperature. Place ingredients in pan in the order specified in your owner’s manual. Select dough/manual cycle. Do not use the delay timer. At the end of the last kneading cycle, press STOP/CLEAR, remove dough and proceed with rising, shaping, and baking instructions* (see below). Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading, making adjustments if necessary.

Rising, Shaping, and Baking

Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Place dough on floured surface and knead about 6 times to release air bubbles. Divide into 3 parts. Roll each part into a 14-inch circle. With a sharp knife, cut into 8 pie-shaped wedges. Starting with wide edge, roll each wedge toward the point. Place on ungreased cookie sheets, point side down, and curve into crescent shape. Cover; let rise until indentation remains after touching. Combine 1 slightly beaten egg and 1 tablespoon water; brush croissants with egg mixture. Bake in preheated 350 degrees F/180 degrees C oven 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets and cool.

Makes 24 croissants.

Bread is not close to the taste of croissant. More like dinner rolls.

A fantastic recipe. Being the father of 2 small children I really don't have the time to make it from scratch. Thank you for providing a detailed way to make it in the bread maker!

I loved this recipe. So easy and yummy. Before rolling the croissant I added thyme to 1/3, cheese to 1/3, and chocolate bananas to the remaining 1/3. Delicious!

This came out JUST like crescent rolls from a package. If that is what you want, it is perfect. They are bready, but light. If you are looking for crescent rolls (bakery style) this is not the recipe. I enjoyed it though- I added chicken, cheese and spinach before rolling--- it was SO yummy!
