Instructions

  1. Make a smooth dough from soft butter, quark, flour and baking powder. Place in the refrigerator for 1- 1 1/2 hours. You can also make the dough the day before.
  2. Roll out very thinly into a rectangle on a floured surface and then brush with the cream cheese. Cut the dough into oblong triangles. Place a small piece of salmon on the wide piece, roll it up from the broad side and bend it into croissants. Place the croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg yolk milk.
  3. Bake at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes. They should be beautifully golden brown.
  4. The croissants taste great even without salmon.
  5. I always do both variants and roll them up differently. I just cut the ones without salmon into strips and roll them up. Then you can tell them apart more easily.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
