Hummus With Turkey And Spinach Recipe

Prepare the Dough

Start by combining the all-purpose flour, sugar, yeast, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add water and mix until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth. Incorporate the butter by flattening the dough and spreading a portion of the butter over it, then folding and rolling several times to create layers. Let the dough rest in the refrigerator overnight.

Shape and Bake

Roll out the dough into a thin layer and cut it into triangular shapes. Spread a thin layer of hummus on each triangle, add small pieces of turkey and a sprinkle of spinach, then roll the dough starting from the wider end to form the croissant shape. Place the croissants on a baking sheet, leaving some space between each. Apply an egg wash to the surface of each croissant for a golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Prepare the Icing

While the croissants are baking, prepare the icing by mixing icing sugar with a small amount of water until it reaches a smooth consistency. Add a few drops of food coloring and any desired flavorings, such as vanilla or almond extract, to complement the fillings. Once the croissants are baked and cooled slightly, drizzle or spread the icing over the top.
