Classic Layered Crescent Croissant

The curved shape of a baked croissant highlights traditional pastry craftsmanship. Rolled dough creates a distinct layered surface while keeping the interior tender and buttery.

Interesting Facts About Croissants

The baking process used to craft croissants is called lamination, where butter is repeatedly folded into yeast dough. When baked, water inside the butter turns into steam, puffing up dozens of microscopic dough layers into a crescent shape.

Natural Colors of a Croissant
