Instructions

In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Gradually incorporate warm milk until you form a sticky dough; knead until smooth.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and place cold butter between parchment paper, flattening it out. Position the butter on half of the dough and fold over to encase it completely.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out again into a rectangle and fold it into thirds like a letter; repeat two more times to create layers.
Mix ricotta with chopped pistachios and dark chocolate chips until well combined.
Cut rolled dough into triangles, add filling at the base of each triangle, and roll tightly into crescent shapes.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush croissants with egg wash and bake on a lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
