Croissant buns – soft, tasty and super easy to make!
If your little ones already like to eat on their own, you must be looking for things in the right size and shape for their little hands to hold easily. These mini croissant buns are the perfect bread to let them eat by themselves.
Not only they are small and in a shape that is easy to hold, they are also soft and yummy so they are just perfect for your little toddlers. Once I actually had to cut a bun open and blow on it to cool it faster because my 14 months old saw me taking them out of the oven and right away asked for a bun. 😅 Okay, so he is basically addicted.
Don’t get me wrong, they are definitely not only for babies. These croissant buns are a great snack for anyone, you can dip them in sauce, slice them and spread butter, jam or cheese, and they are so pretty that they make a lovely addition to any meal.
They are super easy to make, vegan and soft in such an awesome way! Bake them once and they will immediately be your favourite buns. 😍
All you need is 6 simple ingredients which you surely already have at hand, the dough comes together in a moment and you just let it rest, make shapes and bake. Can’t get easier than that, right?
Cast your bread upon the waters, and after many days it will come back buttered.
