Croissants

EverydayCooked

Croissants are a classic French pastry made from laminated yeast dough, characterized by alternating layers of butter and dough that create their signature flaky, golden-brown texture when baked. This labor-intensive process results in a rich, buttery flavor with a crisp exterior and tender, airy interior. While celebrated for their indulgent quality, croissants are calorie-dense due to their high saturated fat content, typically enjoyed as a breakfast item or accompaniment to coffee.
