Croissants

Croissants are a type of flaky, buttery pastry that originated in Austria and gained popularity in France. Characterized by their crescent shape, croissants are made from a laminated dough that consists of layers of dough and butter, which are rolled and folded multiple times to create a light, airy texture. When baked, they develop a golden-brown crust and a soft, tender interior. Croissants are often enjoyed plain or filled with various sweet or savory ingredients, such as chocolate, almond paste, or ham and cheese. They are commonly served at breakfast or as a snack, and are a staple in French bakeries and cafés.
