Making the croissant sandwiches requires a few steps. To make the croissants, you make a dough with flour, yeast, sugar, eggs, milk, and salt. Then, once the dough has risen, it gets spread with butter and folded before being assembled into croissants. After that, they get garnished with sesame seeds and/or poppy seeds before being baked and filled with the fillings.

Pro Tips
- Make sure the yeast you use is fresh before you begin making the croissants.
- The ideal temperature for the milk is between 100 F and 110 F (37.7 C to 43.3 C) as this will help activate the yeast without killing it.
- If your croissant dough isn’t rising, move it to a warmer location in your home to speed up the process or place it in an oven that is turned off.
- Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature so that it is easy to spread on the croissant.
