- 1 cup lukewarm milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ⅓ cup oil (or melted butter)

Egg Wash:
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon agave syrup
- 2-3 tablespoons milk
Syrup:

- In a large bowl, add the milk, sweetener (agave syrup or sugar), activated yeast or dry yeast, egg yolks, and oil. Stir to combine. Add the flour and salt, then knead the dough for 5 minutes by hand or using a stand mixer until you get a sticky bread-like dough.4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup lukewarm milk, ⅓ cup oil, 2 egg yolks, 2 tablespoons agave syrup or sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with cling film and a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it doubles in volume. When the dough has doubled in volume, divide it into 12 equal parts. Using a rolling pin, shape each part into a rectangle about 3mm thick.
- Mix the jam with the grated walnuts to make the filling. Spread it over one half of each rectangle, then dot with cubes of Turkish delight. Cut the other half into strips about 1cm wide. Roll up the croissants and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a clean towel and let them rise for another 15-30 minutes.4-5 tablespoons jam , ½ cup grated walnuts, 10.5 ounces Turkish delight

Notes
- After baking, allow the croissants to cool completely to room temperature. Then, store them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
- For longer storage, you can freeze the croissants. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap or aluminium foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 1-2 months.
- When ready to enjoy, thaw the frozen croissants in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for a few seconds until heated.
