  11. 11

    Cut each rectangle diagonally in half to make triangles.

  12. 12

    Make a small slit in the center of the base of each triangle and roll up to form croissants.

  13. 13

    Place the croissants spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush with beaten egg. Let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours at over 77°F (25°C).

  14. 14
