I love croissants and kabocha squash so I wondered if it's possible for anyone to make them together.

Because there isn't any butter folded in, anyone can make these croissants quite simply, just make sure to roll the dough out gently.
Depending on the amount of water in the kabocha squash, cooking times may vary so please keep an eye on the croisssants and adjust accordingly. Recipe by suzu-ren

Steps

1

Cut the kabocha squash into small chunks and soften either by boiling or popping them in the microwave.
2

Add all of the ingredients except for the toppings and grated cheese into the bread machine and let the machine do the work until the first rising.
3

Once risen, take out of the bread machine, roll into a ball and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
4

Roll the dough into a 18 x 30 cm rectangle and spread 1 tablespoon of grated cheese around the center.
5

Fold into 3 layers and roll out to the original size.
6

Turn the dough 90°, spread another tablespoon of grated cheese in the middle, fold into 3 layers again and roll out once more.
7

Repeat steps 4 & 5 once more. Don't worry if the dough tears a little here, it's not filled with butter.
8

Roll the dough out to 18 x 30 cm again and cut into 8 triangles as shown in the photo.
9

Make a 1cm cut in the middle of the triangle and whilst stretching the tips of pastry a little, curl them away from you as shown in the photo.
10

Now roll it into a croissant shape. Spray with water and wrap to prevent drying out. Leave to rise until double in size.

These croissants are unsweetened so they make great sandwiches as well.
