Giant Croissants 3 Ways | Sohla El-Waylly | NYT Cooking

Sohla’s here and she brought a giant almond croissant. It’s a fun, easy treat that’s got all of the elements of an almond croissant, but in an extra-crunchy, sharable format. Store bought puff pastry gets rolled out flat, baked, filled and covered with frangipane, then sprinkled with flaky salt and sliced almonds on top. Then Sohla shows us how to make hazelnut and ham and cheese variations. Choose your own adventure, giant croissant style!

[@elenora6745]

NYT please invite Sohla more often!

[@Jess-tk3jx]

The people demand Sohla!! 😂

[@wm6549]

She's big enough now to go on as often as she wants.

[@davidwebca]

Yessss

[@michaeldonnan6767]

What if she finds out there's a white person making more than her? She'll burn the whole thing down!

[@attn.]

nah lmao

[@polymorphing__7483]

A less intimidating way to make croissants. I'll have to try it!

[@grouchosaidit5454]

Sola's knowledge and demeanor makes her an ideal instructor. She's simply marvelous.

[@themikerichardson]

i love Sohla her husband is named Ham he is conspicuously absent except as an ingredient in the 3rd croissant

[@shoutenry]

SOHLA STANS ASSEMBLE!

[@roseyli1]

I love how Sohla give practical tips along the way - like only one tbs of bourbon (not two) and not subbing almond meal.

[@DuyNguyen-yx2vd]

I love when she tells us what she's experimented with. She must suffer through a lot of bad meals just to deliver us the good ones.

[@iamamanduh]

I love Sohla! She's a great chef

[@Lampshadx]

We made the almond croissant sheet pan for Christmas morning. It was SO easy and delicious. Of course, it’s not quite as good as a real double baked almond croissant but for the amount of effort, it is so worth it. Will be making it again when having people over

[@mary-gx5cl]

Sohla is a genius! Using the baking sheet rim as a guide to make sure that the slice is even?? BRILLIANT!

[@hibasfoodgallery]

Absolutely right

[@Debba521]

Wow, I was blown away when Sohla baked the puff pastry first! Great idea. I've made stuff with store bought pastry, and it all went into the oven raw. As a result the pastry was undercooked beneath the filling. Thanks for a great tip! All three variations look super delicious. If you can't get hazelnuts, can you use Nutella instead? Thanks, Sohla!

[@jase_allen]

If you can't find hazelnuts, try looking for its alternate names, filbert and cobnut.

[@pointthree3]

@@jase_allen Or use almonds

[@SRSuave90]

I want it to be clear that I liked and subscribed for only 1 reason. That's Sohla

[@ritahum5092]

So happy to see you on KZbin today! We need more Sohla.

[@theradept9861]

Omg I actually got chills when they all came out of the oven & you were cutting into them... I LOVE THIS!! Trying them all now & will definitely be experimenting with this recipe! Thank you Sohla, you're amazing!!!

[@phillyarchdad]

What a great lesson - Sohla’s easy going manner makes this seem easy! Can’t wait to try this at home!

[@sxstrngsamurai13]

This is such a great idea! I can't wait to try this. Also, Sohla has some of the best facial expressions. She's the best! Always look forward to more Sohlae content!!!

[@kissuck]

Sohla, you have given me something I didn't know I need. A GIANT Almond Croissant! I need to make this now! Thank you!

[@Voteblue-gq5eh]

Looks so delicious! Excited to see Sohla!

[@leirezalakain2836]

Every video on this channel should just be sohla, ham, or sohla and ham

[@dimoolia]

or sohla, ham & cheese

[@xingcat]

This looks just terrific, and a great way of making something special with store-bought puff pastry.

[@user-yk2gr8ep4i]

Eyyy, new Sohla content! Always makes my day when new Sohla stuff drops. Excited that I can actually make these too! Most puff pastry is already vegan and subbing one egg in the filling will be a piece of cake.

[@samanthagarner2926]

Love Sohla and all her tips! More Sohla.

[@reginag4053]

I'd watch Sohla doing anything. And when it's easy and tasty...? Even better!

[@kayokolindenberger3754]

You had me at Sohla El-Waylly. I can't wait to try these recipes! ❤

[@blabhblaja]

I missed Sohla and all of her knowledge! I’m so glad to see her on KZbin again.

[@allistar34]

oh myyyyy i've been craving almond croissants so this video came in clutch!!! so happy that sohla (and ham!) is back :)

[@susan5902]

I made the almond pastry - doubling the filling - and it was AMAZING! Sohla rocks!!

[@merinawww]

We made the original on Christmas morning. It was decided instantly that this would be a tradition. Thank you for the recipe, Sohla!

[@friday13thirteen]

i made it for christmas morning too! literally could not have been easier, i baked off the pastry & made the frangipane on christmas eve and then just assembled & heated in the morning. it's the perfect special holiday breakfast that doesn't actually involve doing a ton of work first thing in the morning. this video is giving me all sorts of ideas for new flavors to try on future christmases :)

[@nightmarrish]

Love this! Thanks Sohla for the recipe tutorial!

[@christinearakkal]

I missed her so much ❤❤❤❤❤ much love to you girl

[@oliviahein7772]

[@rachaelgoldman5846]

Appreciative of this demo!

[@fifthavenue8505]

I haven't tried these techniques yet, but this is one of the very best recipe videos I've ever watched....for several reasons. Thank-you so much. Best of luck with your career.

[@unstoppabledoris]

I absolutely love Sohla!

[@scottroche9996]

Sohla is the best. I have been following her since the history channel ancient recipes. I loved her with the 52 KZbin channel a show she had there which was really really really really really really good and now with the New York Times the show was absolutely perfect, so yeah everything she does is so interesting and watching her cook is just the best. I just pre-ordered her Cooke new cookbook coming out in October of this year And I can’t wait for the read. If I had any one suggestion for her is I’d like to see her do stuff with for those for those of us who have diabetes or other food requirements.

[@summerk2415]

Yes!! We love Sohla❤

[@dottiepark]

Oh I am so doing this! Thanks, Sohla!

[@slapelooshield]

The crunch sounds are so satisfying 🤤

[@youtubeuser9333]

Hiiii

[@lucycat241]

Wow. That looks amazing!

[@allisonabbott-kline4765]

Sohla is a gem!

[@denols4079]

So nice to see you back!

[@JerseyGirlinMKE]

Made the hazelnut chocolate version. Was amazing! Couldn’t find whole hazelnuts so I used two small bags of crushed hazelnuts

[@blue_champignon5738]

Omg these look so good and easy

[@danbev8542]

Sola, this is brilliant!!!! Definitely going to make these!

[@shabankullolli1499]

[@privateuser660]

[@christinaurban1349]

Incredible!!

[@Inzje]

Wow I was just thinking I haven't seen Sohla on youtube in a while and there she is!

[@avelinek7981]

It's just so simple!

[@VictorAndScience]

Sohla is an American Treasure. We need that book already, queen!

[@ellawatching]

i missed her!!! please more sohla

[@bethturnbull8907]

[@Meggs23]

Sohla! Missed her. MORE PLEASE.

[@samanthaconnelly4046]

Sohla is a gift to us all

[@manders76]

Took this to a party recently and it was a huge hit!

[@mon6745]

[@annika1837]

[@lookup7055]

I’m here for easy but delicious! Thanks 😊

[@darthbee18]

OOOOOOOOHMYGOOOOOOOOOOD THE CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT ONE LOOKS SO GOOD!!! 🤯🤤🤤 - I'll try making that one some day! 😏

[@carolynemma4279]

these recipes are brilliant nice to have a young prodigy with new ideas

[@christines5684]

love Sohla's videos!

[@tompoynton]

I’d have a Béchamel in that ham and cheese one for that full Croque Monsieur vibe

[@sarahwatts7152]

I love this! Would be very impressive dinner party food

[@Mal_i_que]

MORE SOHLA FINALLY!!

[@DessertGeek]

This is such a great way to play with puff pastry! I'm curious to test it with blitz puff pastry, since I rarely remember to have store-bought lying around but blitz is so fast I could see making a batch and then prepping the filling while the pastry chills! (Actually now I want to make a variation on Bakery Nouveau's cranberry-vanilla croissants this way, that would be amazing!)

[@catie261]

"Or eat the whole thing. I'm not here to judge you." 8:43 Thank you Sohla!

[@aftermath3482]

She used Dufour pastry dough! Love that brand!

[@CharlieCabralos]

Ooh these are about to be my new go-to dessert to bring to holidays lol. Looks so tasty and I bet people will think you put a ton of effort into making them, but they're so easy. Shhh

[@Madisita2473]

I keep whispering to myself this is such a good idea to myself... Definitely making it this weekend

[@mhilmyfauzi4523]

i like Sohla coming up with different version of how easy is that lol

[@vivianramos5700]

Yesssssss!!!! Sohla 🫶🏽

[@roxannelucky]

OMG - can't wait to try this. May sub pecans (my fav) for the hazelnuts. Many thanks!!!!

[@pinkpinsofpain]

OMG these looks so good and the savory one (I like savory more than sweet) is for me! I'd end up eating the whole thing in a week and that would be bad.

[@reneeryan1145]

Awesome instructor!!!!

[@andyetheredge5120]

sohla is the best!!!!!

[@bethanderson2940]

Yay!!! Sohla!!!

[@lexxlovelyness]

Ohhh fancy lol I just love Sohla

[@formula1facebookfan]

This is a lit idea - I wouldn't ever make croissants at home but would Def give this a go

[@EmilyJelassi]

The almond and the chocolate-hazelnut pastries look delicious!! I’m going to find the all-butter puff pastry and make this 😊

[@cynthiadvorsky950]

Trader Joe’s has all butter puff pastry

[@KABE1322]

Sohla!!!! We missed you!! You need your own channel!!! You and Ham - do it!!!!
