I still enjoy my baking, with or without an oven. I just love how this one turned out.i used fruit jam in some to give it a twist. Trusting God for an oven soon...

Steps

1

Pour half the milk in a bowl, add yeast and sugar then cover and leave the mixture for 10mins
2

Add flour and the rest of the ingredients except blue band. Butter is the best to use by the way, but i used what's available
3

Kneed well till the dough is not sticky, this takes like 5-10 mins. Cover and leave it to rest for 1hour in a greased bowl. After 1 hour the dough should be double in size
4

Sprinkle some flour in your work area, take the dough and make a cylindrical shape then cut into pieces as shown
5

With each piece make a ball, i made 8 balls
6

Roll each ball one by one and spread blue band
7

Repeat the process, putting each one on top of the other. Do not put blue band on the last one. Be generous with the blue band
8

Cover with a cling film and put in the freezer for 30mins
9

Roll it out again to form an even shape, this should look like one big chapati
10

First cut into quarters, then 3 in each quater making them 12 in total. Shape should be triangular
11

Take one piece and make a small cut at the middle of the triangle, should be just a small cut
12

Shape it like shown. Roll it from the cut end making sure the end is tacked well
13

I put jam in three pieces. You can use chocolate or any filling of your choice
14

Repeat process for all the triangles, then arrange in your baking tin and let rise for another 30mins
15

Prepare your "oven", put it on the cooker and heat it for about 5mins covered
16

Brush your croissants with the egg wash and put them in the oven
17

Cover with another sufuria and bake for 20-25mins in low to medium heat
18

Final product... ENJOY
