Directions (20-25 min)
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a small bowl, combine Kadoya Black Sesame Paste, softened butter, powdered sugar, Kadoya Roasted Sesame Oil and salt. Mix until smooth and spreadable.
-
Slice each croissant in half horizontally without cutting all the way through. Spread the black sesame filling generously inside each croissant.
-
In another small bowl, whisk together Kadoya Black Sesame Paste, powdered sugar, and enough milk to create a thick, spreadable paste.
-
Spread or spoon the black sesame topping over the tops of the croissants in thick stripes or patches. Sprinkle generously with black and white sesame seeds.
-
Whisk together the egg white and water, then lightly brush any exposed croissant edges for shine. Bake for 10–15 minutes until crisp, deeply golden, and warmed through. Let cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
