# Steps to Follow:

01 - Mix instant yeast, sugar, and warm milk and set aside for 10 minutes to activate.

03 - Mix diced ham, shredded mozzarella, and ketchup. Set aside.
04 - Uncover the dough, divide it into two portions, and roll each into a rectangular shape. Use a pizza cutter to divide and create small cuts along the longer side.
05 - Add the filling onto the dough and roll it up. Line a baking tray with parchment paper, place the croissants, and cover to rest for 30 minutes. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
06 - Preheat the oven to 390°F. Whisk the egg with oil and paprika powder. Use a basting brush to coat the croissants with the glaze. Optionally sprinkle with oregano.
07 - Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Allow to cool briefly before serving.
