When the dough has hardened, remove it from the refrigerator and, on a well-floured work surface (or floured parchment paper), roll the dough with a rolling pin into a disc with a diameter of 30 cm. Spread the ganache with a spoon on one half of the disk and jam on the other half.
On half of the chocolate ganache, spread the crushed hazelnuts and chocolate. In the other half, spread the pistachios and sprinkle each part with a tablespoon of powdered sugar.
Cut the disk into eight equal parts and roll each part starting with the large side to form small crescents.
Brush each croissant with egg wash.
Place each croissant on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and bake at 180°C for 30 minutes.
