Prepare the Dough: Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into triangles, just like you would for regular croissants.

Roll Them Up: Starting from the wide end, carefully roll the dough towards the narrow end, forming that classic croissant shape.
Egg Wash and Sugar Sprinkle: Brush the tops of the croissants with egg wash (or your alternative), then sprinkle a bit of sugar on top for that extra sparkle and sweetness.

For a vegan option, swap the egg wash with almond milk or any plant-based milk.
Try adding nuts or dried fruits for an unexpected twist.
Store leftover croissants in an airtight container to maintain their flakiness.
