I Made The Viral Rice Paper Croissant

here i am, committing a heinous bread crime, all in the name of science!! and for us to find out the deep, dark truth of whether this rice paper... croissant, actually tastes good.

if you'd also like to try and create this little abomination, here's what i used:

5 eggs
a little under 1/4 cup Sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tbsp milk
2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
bake at 350F for 30min

As a person living with celiac disease for 11 years... you don't realize how much you've just rocked my world. I haven't had a croissant in over a decade... This is... I can't even. I am making these today. There will probably be tears.

i love how many gluten free people are excited for this recipe, i'm for sure going to be trying it out for my celiac partner! it sounds so good!
i was thinking- it might be nice to lean a bit more into a french toast direction with the egg butter mixture, add some cinnamon, maybe a little brown sugar, a pinch of salt for balance.... i think it'd be so good!

my dad is gluten-free, and he is a rice paper lover. What a perfect recipe!

Btw your ‘Trendy vs Traditional’ videos have been reuploaded and I was just reminiscing how those videos were a source of joy.

Twaydabae, a Vietnamese chef was the first to share the recipe according to many articles online!

You can make an “Inga taste test” series from viral recipes. You have an honest and objective perspective, so that’ll be exciting. You can even invite guests if you want.

I'd like to point out that rice paper / spring rolls wrappers are not all the same. The amount of tapioca / rice flour varies. I made spring rolls today and it was 80% tapioca /8% rice (the rest was water and salt). That's probably going to have a large effect on the crust and chewiness.

As a french person with celiac, I am both horrified abd incredibly proud of you! I will be making these immediately- thank you! ❤❤❤

As a Vietnamese who has grown up in Europe this feels like a double sacrilege… But F it I’m making it!

I’ve seen recipes calling for three layers. By using five it may cause them to not cook as well in the centre leading to the stickiness

FYI you can buy square rice paper. Would be easier to get the triangles

My GF kiddo is going to be so happy to be able to have croissants with us- albeit he won’t know they don’t taste right- if they look that spectacular he will be thrilled.

Honestly, as a person with celiac, looks fun. I wonder if just chucking 1/4 tsp of yeast in the egg mix might add a little flavor? My family always says I’m sorry you have Stockholm syndrome… but, looks more croissant like than any other gluten free option I’ve seen. 🤷‍♀️

Your videos are so comforting and well made! It gives me the same feelings as talking and listening to an older sister who is exploring and teaching me about new things!

🤔 I’m thinking ditch the pseudo croissant 🥐 and work with the rice paper’s attributes. Spread butter on each paper and dip then layer 2-3 and bake whole to get more of the good crispy parts. Layer two baked ones with some cream type filling, or maybe ganache…would be messy to eat but lots of crispy crunch. I’ve had gf croissants and they are ok, but not crispy enough..this might satisfy the need. Or break them apart before doing all this ( a tall order, I know) to make them a little more easy to handle.

Bread Crimes are suddenly my favorite crimes!

The pain au chocolat surprise at the end 😍😍😍

Nobody wants a croissant that's gummy, but I wouldn't say no to a gummi that's shaped like a croissant.

[woolnotwheat]

ok but considering how hard it is to make gf puff pastry, this gives me ideas! (like is there a reason they didn't stick with cold butter in the recipe to make it more like actual puff??) (considering its already so -not- croissant-y, could you use it for things you'd use pillsbury crescent rolls for, like a spinach ring)(if it's like mochi, what about red bean filling....)

also the stack looked like new mexican stacked enchiladas lol

Celiac here, haven't tried a croissant for 11 years, nor anything close to a croissant, so I might just try this one for the fun of it and because I have a ton of rice papers. I use them to make burek (balkan pastry with cottage cheeee).
