UPDATE: Finally got my hands on Miyoko's vegan butter (thanks to everyone who told me it's available at Trader Joe's!) and I think it would work phenomenally in this recipe! I haven't tested it directly with croissants, but a batch of chocolate chip cookies I just made with it came out beautifully. By far my new favorite as it is palm oil-free!
tried this recipe only folded so much that I had to walk about 5 extra times to the fridge so my layer count got up to over 2000, which was totally worth it, that makes these croissants way puffier and layerier if that makes any sense. Thank you for the recipe
I'm so happy i've found a vegan channel that shows other more varied meals than your typical fruits and smoothie bowls and avo toasts! I'm moving out in about 6 months and I can't wait to experiment with more plant based cooking when i'm finally on my own and have ingredients more available near me😄
I've made more labor-intensive and time consuming croissants and they didn't come out as good as these🖤 I made these last night and they came out amazing 10/10 will make again
Protip: You can make bread flour using 1-cup All Purpose Flour minus 1 TSP, and then add 1 TSP of Vital Wheat Gluten in its place. It is very simple, and very inexpensive! If you want more elasticity in the dough, subtract more flour and add more gluten. For example: for a very elastic dough, subtract 1 TBSP of flour from the 1 cup all-purpose flour, then add 1 TBSP vital wheat gluten!
Thanks Sarah! And awesome recipe! If I could find these wonderful butter brands in Canada, I would make this for my partner, but thankfully, I've filed it away under must-make-before-I-get-too-much-older, and will give it a go as soon as is possible! :) I enjoy the videos! Keep it up!
These look sooo amazing! Naively, I never knew that croissants were such a process to make though, newfound respect for every croissant maker for making the world better hahah
I just made them and they were delicious! They really do not take a lot of time. The longest is all the waiting in between, such as when they need to rise or be refrigerated. Actual, involved work is maybe about one hour. Also, I used part whole-wheat flour and part normal and needed to increase the baking time. Fyi
It's great to see properly tested, well developed vegan recipes that actually work. I get so fed up with vegan cooking tutorials on TH-cam where people are clearly trying things out for the first time. I love that you have tested this and refined it by experimenting with different sorts of vegan butter before sharing your expertise. This is the sort of content that will encourage more people to become vegan. Thank you! (Now we just need a decent choice of vegan butter in the UK!).
Omg this process was long but the reward made it so worth it!! I made these over this weekend and they turned out PERFECTLY and flaky and delicious!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Blue Spots She's entitled to her opinion of what entertains her. If she thinks Sarah is boring, that could be good feedback for the channel. Not sure what's up with that "and so unnatural" hit, but whaaaaaatever.
Oh my goodness those used to be my favorite pastery before I went vegan and I haven't seen them anywhere vegan. I am so trying this recipe today, I can't wait!! Thanks for sharing sarah!
Used this recipe for puff pastry dough to make a traditional (dutch) Sinterklaas banquet rod because the store ran out of the vegan ones. My mom ended up liking mine more than the non vegan one. I swear this recipe is amazing also for other types of puff pastry
I keep coming back to this video whenever I feel like making croissant. This recipe is bulletproof! I use the bread machine for kneading and resting the dough.
Love your channel! I just recently graduated from vegan culinary school and started my own youtube channel! Great to see such great inspirational content :D
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen 50!?! Omg! I want to go to NC state veterinary school (my dad went there and my GPA is good enough to go there plus it's the closest vet school to where I am) And I think within 20 minutes of the campus they have 2 vegan restaurants, I think one is actually vegetarian but they have a vegan switch for everything and I know the other is fully vegan and absolutely amazing (I went to the second one for my birthday, it was the same day as animezement though so I saw so many anime characters outside haha, oh and a bunch of furries........)
Wow I'm actually so impressed! I have a bachelors degree in baking and pastry and you really impressed me with your knowledge and techniques using tools accessible to a home baker. Awesome job! Can't wait to try your formula 😊
I am absolutely amazed. I am French and Croissants without butter?! Croissants are 50% butter so I did not expect this to be real but WOW JUST WOW. Amazing job!!
Great recipe and it comes up very well when the instructions are followed ,and we have been doing variations such as putting marzipan for almond croissants and chocolate and marzipan for pain au chocolates.
Hi Sarah! Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan! I became a subscriber to your channel because I noticed that in addition to being vegan, you also mentioned that you AVOID using plastic bags! Kudos to you! I was SO THRILLED to learn that and decided to throw in my support and became a subscriber! Thank you for doing so for our environment and please keep up the good work and mention that as much as possible in your videos to come, I can hardly wait!
These worked wonderfully well, even though I had to use a pack of vegan margarine rather than vegan butter as I couldn’t find it here in Estonia. To compensate I added a few drops of artificial butter flavour - not sure if it worked, but it tasted great! Also found that I needed to add about 25% more water than stated to get the right consistency and all purpose flour worked just fine for me. The resulting croissants were golden brown and crisp on the outside with a flaky honeycomb texture on the inside (and not doughy like some of the other vegan recipes I’ve looked at). Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe!
I make croissants all the the time. If you want French croissants get the bread flour, if you don't want to use 3 cups, use 1.5 cups bread flour and all purpose flour at least.
I’m trying to make vegan croissants during the quarantine... I watched this when you first uploaded it and totally forgot you had a recipe, so I’ve stated with a recipe I found online. I’m going to use your instructions on the rolling part though because reading that and watching it are two different things lol! Thanks and I’ll let you know how they turn out!
Hi Sarah, You need to mention the purpose of folding in addition to getting layers...TO INCORPORATE THE 3 EDGES THAT HAVE NO BUTTER IN TO THE FOLD -- from first foling dough over the butter!! It's very important that the folding is done where in the 1at fold (4 layer) the side edges are bought in to the fold and in 2nd fold iteration (3-layer )THE FRONT UNBUTTERED EDGE IS BOUGHT TO THE MIDDLE and the Buttered edge goes OVER that !! Only by watching your video did I understand the reason for the folds after watching so many croissant videos !!!
Blake Johnson Have you tried making these with that butter? She got me so nervous about which butter to use and I can't find most brands in my small town dbdhcgjf
Wow awesome. I've tried making vegan croissants before by just following a non-vegan recipe and substituting, trial and error. It was hard. And took forever. This makes way more sense going to try it!
Good to see you are still going strong on here, so many videos I find are on abandoned channels. Sadly in the UK Vegan/WFPB options like 'butter' are very limited but the recipe looks easy enough and I make my own cherry jam (I have a tree!)
I am always inspired by your love of cooking, your skills, and your recipes. I am going to look for the vegan butter you recommended and try baking these croissants.
This looks so GOOD! Please tell me; do you think I can keep the croissants in the freezer? I want to make a big batch and just do bake off in the morning
Thank YOU so much !!!! my mom wants to go completely vegan but loves baked goods like Challah bread and croissants. I had already found a vegan challah bread recipe and now thanks to you a croissant recipe !! This will make it so much easier for her. Thank you
As a Frenchman going recently vegan I was very sad to gave up my croissant and pain au chocolat but you made it. Vegan style :) Thanks for the video , it look quite complex but I want to give it a try !
Wow these look (and sound) amazing!! I have to make this. I loved your video style, too. Simple, straightforward, and thorough. I feel like I understand exactly what I need to do, how, and why. Great work!
UPDATE: Finally got my hands on Miyoko's vegan butter (thanks to everyone who told me it's available at Trader Joe's!) and I think it would work phenomenally in this recipe! I haven't tested it directly with croissants, but a batch of chocolate chip cookies I just made with it came out beautifully. By far my new favorite as it is palm oil-free!
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen I saw it at Trader Joe's but it is almost $5! I love that it is made with macadamia nuts though. How does it taste?
vegan granulated sugar hahahahaha can sugar not be vegan?
rosegvnn no because sometimes the sugar can be processed with bone char from animals :(
tried this recipe only folded so much that I had to walk about 5 extra times to the fridge so my layer count got up to over 2000, which was totally worth it, that makes these croissants way puffier and layerier if that makes any sense. Thank you for the recipe
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen Hey , Can I substitute vegan butter with the regular butter & water with a milk in this recipe . Btw great recipe👍
Wow. Just wow. Is there anything this woman can't do?
Amanda S Yodel, probably.
Fingers crossed for a yodeling video to prove me wrong.
right?! I mean, VEGAN croissants! Didn't think it was possible!
Amanda S if she can make vegan cannolis then I think ill be in love, lol
Austin Gulotta Cackle! Riiiiight? And then it would be an awesomely produced video that would make me also love yodeling.
Amanda S She is just awesome!
I'm so happy i've found a vegan channel that shows other more varied meals than your typical fruits and smoothie bowls and avo toasts! I'm moving out in about 6 months and I can't wait to experiment with more plant based cooking when i'm finally on my own and have ingredients more available near me😄
Good luck!! That's so exciting!! I feel like I only make smoothie bowls as well and videos like this get me super excited to try other things!
Ikr! My favorite thing about this channel is that it shows basically everything and it seems pretty affordable. Actually probably my favorite channel
Selma this is why I love this chanell as well:D
Check out Hot for Food, they also do things that are more junk foody.
also check avantgardevegan :) he has incredible recipes!
Beautiful! I miss croissants so much after cutting out dairy. Time to learn to take matters into my own hands.. mmm. Thanks for the video!
I've made more labor-intensive and time consuming croissants and they didn't come out as good as these🖤 I made these last night and they came out amazing 10/10 will make again

For example: for a very elastic dough, subtract 1 TBSP of flour from the 1 cup all-purpose flour, then add 1 TBSP vital wheat gluten!
Excellent point! I used to do this when I was making bread for my co-op in huge batches.
Thanks Sarah! And awesome recipe! If I could find these wonderful butter brands in Canada, I would make this for my partner, but thankfully, I've filed it away under must-make-before-I-get-too-much-older, and will give it a go as soon as is possible! :)
I enjoy the videos! Keep it up!
Thank you!
I'm french and I can say that they do really look like french croissant! Well done, it looks so yummi 🙈
Andria Lau yeah this is a proper way of making them!
Andria Lau im not french but I've been to France more times than I can remember (20+ times) and I agree!
Blossom Buddies wow! 20 times? How old are you or how often do you go?? That's amazing. You should move there lol. Save on travel 😝
Just made these and OMG, so good! I'm so proud of myself.
These look sooo amazing! Naively, I never knew that croissants were such a process to make though, newfound respect for every croissant maker for making the world better hahah
THE KANYE CROISSANT LINE I'M DEAD LOL
These look so insanely good but I'm so lazy! Hahah the struggle!
Omg I've seen those! That would be amazing.
I just made them and they were delicious! They really do not take a lot of time. The longest is all the waiting in between, such as when they need to rise or be refrigerated. Actual, involved work is maybe about one hour. Also, I used part whole-wheat flour and part normal and needed to increase the baking time. Fyi
If only the world didn't need dairy and just did this! My mouth is literally watering 😍😍
Exactly my thoughts!
The world doesn’t need dairy..
right...
OMG THOSE LOOK AMAZING!!

Aw thanks! i appreciate that. I agree; I much prefer thoroughly-tested recipes!
Please never delete this video!! I rewatch it every time I make croissants!
Wow! Proving yet again that we do NOT need animal products in order to have the finest of treats.
You are so right, we should all stop exploiting innocent animals for our purposes.
Yes hamburger
So true 🥺
Now you know,
That's so true 👍🏼
I'll be giving these a try! Kneading dough is so relaxing for me and croissants are my favorite!
I know! Baking is really therapeutic. :)
Omg this process was long but the reward made it so worth it!! I made these over this weekend and they turned out PERFECTLY and flaky and delicious!! Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Making them right now. About to put in oven so fingers crossed 🤞
Oh no you didn't!!! Dang it, my kitchen is gonna be a mess! Great job! You're very talented baker too!
Holy shit, vegan croissants. Where have you been all my life! :P
gaaah I love croissants. this is truly a must try. :) you're really inspiring to become vegan. Wish me luck!
Gabrielle Best if luck! You should also check out UnnaturalVegan's youtube channel so you can learn about vegan health and nutrition :)
That's so exciting!! You got this :) it's not as hard as it seems!
one of the worst vegan channels. she is so boring and ... "unnatural".
Gabrielle good luck!
Blue Spots She's entitled to her opinion of what entertains her. If she thinks Sarah is boring, that could be good feedback for the channel. Not sure what's up with that "and so unnatural" hit, but whaaaaaatever.

Love your videos! Easy to understand and straightforward.
I keep coming back to this video whenever I feel like making croissant. This recipe is bulletproof!
I use the bread machine for kneading and resting the dough.
You're a wizard Sarah. these look so good omg
Sarah
This is the absolute best vegan croissant recipe I have seen. I will use it soon. Keep doing this it is helpful. I am a vegan chef in Jamaica.
I am french and I approve this recipe !!
are you telling me you went through the process of making croissants several times just to make sure you got the best recipe FOR US?
You rock. thnkx
Wow. This was so satisfying to watch.
Those are the most gorgeous croissants I've ever seen
When you tore up the croissant at the end....omg, so flaky and buttery. Thanks for the recipe!
Love your channel! I just recently graduated from vegan culinary school and started my own youtube channel! Great to see such great inspirational content :D
OMG this is what I want now!!!
I cannot wait to try this when the weather is a bit cooler. I so miss croissants!
I think after this video, I've seriously come to respect you, wau, talk about patience O_O
As a french vegan, I'm glad I'll be able to eat these wonders again :D
Just made these with Mykonos butter. They taste just as good as dairy croissants, dare i say better than dairy croissants! Thanks for sharing!!!
You don't happen to need a roommate, do you?
Haha I miss college and having 50 housemates. I used to bake sooooo much.
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen 50!?! Omg! I want to go to NC state veterinary school (my dad went there and my GPA is good enough to go there plus it's the closest vet school to where I am)
And I think within 20 minutes of the campus they have 2 vegan restaurants, I think one is actually vegetarian but they have a vegan switch for everything and I know the other is fully vegan and absolutely amazing (I went to the second one for my birthday, it was the same day as animezement though so I saw so many anime characters outside haha, oh and a bunch of furries........)

Hope you love it!
I wish I hadn't made a bet with my boyfriend that I'd swear off bread for a month... GOD DAMMIT THIS MAKES ME WEAK
Omg after making these 4 times to get the recipe right...I need to swear off bread for a month too now. -_- haha
vivaLucci croissants technically arent bread, right...?
vivaLucci why would you make such a bet ?!? 😿😿😿😿😿
vivaLucci 🤣
I am absolutely amazed. I am French and Croissants without butter?! Croissants are 50% butter so I did not expect this to be real but WOW JUST WOW. Amazing job!!
Yess vegan baking is my fave
Yesssssss !!!!! ❤️
is it weird that i'm not vegan, but i love watching these recipes...? much love to these videos!
Sarah's Vegan Kitchen totally get you there! also forgot to mention that these croissants look to die for 😭
These look so AMAZING! I definitely need to try this recipe out!
omg. You saved my life. I'm french and the only thing I missed the most when going vegan is Croissant. Thanks a lot!
I never skip ads on vegan videos and watch the whole video till the very end to show my support
thank you!
OMG! You replied!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I'll definitely give this croissant recipe a try (๑′ᴗ‵๑)♡
OMG! AMAZING JOB! But it's a hard work...
Great recipe and it comes up very well when the instructions are followed ,and we have been doing variations such as putting marzipan for almond croissants and chocolate and marzipan for pain au chocolates.
I was literally thinking of that Kanye West song throughout this whole video lol
they are cooking just now! can’t wait to share the result!
i absolutely love your channel💖
I am French and those croissants look amazing and so resembling to traditional French croissants. Can't wait to try it.
Oh HELL yeah
This is amazing!! One of the only things I misses after going vegan are croissants!
Kitty Cotten if you don't have time to bake from scratch, you can use jusrol croissants. The dough comes rolled up in a can and are vegan x
I wanna live with you so badly haha
This recipe is absolutely amazing! I thought I’d never be able to eat croissants again. Thank you 😊 my croissants came out just like store bought.
Hi Sarah! Greetings from Taipei, Taiwan! I became a subscriber to your channel because I noticed that in addition to being vegan, you also mentioned that you AVOID using plastic bags! Kudos to you! I was SO THRILLED to learn that and decided to throw in my support and became a subscriber! Thank you for doing so for our environment and please keep up the good work and mention that as much as possible in your videos to come, I can hardly wait!
I really appreciate how you took the time to test a bunch of different methods so you can tell us what works best. Thank you!
My pleasure! Always looking for ways to improve on recipes.
How much money for you to overnight me a batch of the regular croissants using the better butter? No joke!
NEED to try this recipe! I hate making any sort or pastries involving dough (scones/croissants etc.) but you make it look SO easy!
so much work lol
Haha this is true. I love to cook though. :D
These worked wonderfully well, even though I had to use a pack of vegan margarine rather than vegan butter as I couldn’t find it here in Estonia.

Wow! You make cooking sexy. I could never be considered sexy in the kitchen
😂
Peace and love ❤️
Ahhh what I'm actually blushing. ;)

My mom and I LOVE vegan croissants 💗 you did such a beautiful job, they look incredible!!

It's very important that the folding is done where in the 1at fold (4 layer) the side edges are bought in to the fold and in 2nd fold iteration (3-layer )THE FRONT UNBUTTERED EDGE IS BOUGHT TO THE MIDDLE and the Buttered edge goes OVER that !! Only by watching your video did I understand the reason for the folds after watching so many croissant videos !!!
any video on vegan croissants gets an instant like and subscribe from me. gods work.
Blue bonnet light is also vegan as far as I know. Blue Bonnet is a very popular brand of butter where I live so it’s really easy to find.
Blake Johnson Have you tried making these with that butter? She got me so nervous about which butter to use and I can't find most brands in my small town dbdhcgjf
Just a tip from a pastry chef, refrigerate your dough between turns for about an hour. It gives you an even flakier croissant. :)
In french we say "pains au chocolat" ou "chocolatines" for what you call "chocolate croissants". Look delicious ! I'll try this recipe !
Yay, I was trying to find a vegan croissant recipe because my family is vegan. And I am going to be cooking
im french and i would say these croissants are wonderful
They look really good ! Maybe just a little dense but they are really pretty
OMG finally vegan croissants!! I'm gonna make these right away
Wow awesome. I've tried making vegan croissants before by just following a non-vegan recipe and substituting, trial and error. It was hard. And took forever. This makes way more sense going to try it!
wow! that is impressive. they look authentic and simply amazing!
Oh....my....goodness. Now I am so hungry for these! Thank you for sharing this deliciousness.
This looks so much better than store bought croissants
Good to see you are still going strong on here, so many videos I find are on abandoned channels. Sadly in the UK Vegan/WFPB options like 'butter' are very limited but the recipe looks easy enough and I make my own cherry jam (I have a tree!)
yeast is living creature too, you know. Besides that, the recipe is perfect! Good job
omg I can't believe these are vegan, they look absolutely amazing!
I am always inspired by your love of cooking, your skills, and your recipes. I am going to look for the vegan butter you recommended and try baking these croissants.
I hope you enjoy them!
This looks so GOOD! Please tell me; do you think I can keep the croissants in the freezer? I want to make a big batch and just do bake off in the morning
Hi Charity, have you tried freezing?
@@ivalufta3371 no I haven't tried to make it at all to be honest. Thanks for replying to my comment. Saving to make later now haha
Thanks Sarah! I love this video and your ingredients talk in the beginning was key and quick. Quick is most appreciated.
Thank YOU so much !!!! my mom wants to go completely vegan but loves baked goods like Challah bread and croissants. I had already found a vegan challah bread recipe and now thanks to you a croissant recipe !! This will make it so much easier for her. Thank you
I am so happy about this!! crossaints were my favorite treat as a kid. Haven't had them since going vegan, but I'm excited to try this!!
Yay! They're so good. I also haven't seen any vegan croissants at bakeries which is why I wanted to make my own!
Just made these and they are absolutely wonderful
I made pizza dough last night, and I used unsweetened apple sauce, and it bloomed ! The dough came out good,with no problems. Just a heads up.
I'm so impressed with your informative tutorial. Thank you!!
wow! I wish i could find these butters, easily, here in Brazil. Great explanation, and seems delicious!
My croissants are rising now, I'll bake them very soon.. can't wait!
I've been making this recipe for years now. It's always a success!
As a Frenchman going recently vegan I was very sad to gave up my croissant and pain au chocolat but you made it. Vegan style :)
Thanks for the video , it look quite complex but I want to give it a try !
Those crescents look AMAZING!!!
Woah! I woke up today wanting vegan croissants and went on TH-cam and this was recommended!! Amazing, thank you
Yay! Glad to help. :)
Wow these look (and sound) amazing!! I have to make this. I loved your video style, too. Simple, straightforward, and thorough. I feel like I understand exactly what I need to do, how, and why. Great work!
Amazing video tutorial for vegan croissants!
OMG i was humming that kanye song through the whole video when you played it in the outro it felt like home
;)
