Recipe Notes

*Alternatively, divide dough into two equal portions and roll each into a perfect square, then slice into two triangles, spreading each of the four triangles with jam. Roll into croissant shapes and place into loaf pan alternately at angles. Or, divide into 8 – 12 portions and fill each with jam making individual croissants, twists or stuffed brioche buns. Baking time would be considerably less if making individual portions baked on a sheet pan.
