croissants

Croissants are a type of buttery, flaky pastry known for their crescent shape. Originating from France, they are made from a laminated dough, which involves folding butter into the dough multiple times to create thin layers. This process results in a light, airy texture and a crisp exterior when baked. Croissants are typically enjoyed as a breakfast item or snack and can be served plain or filled with various ingredients such as chocolate, almond paste, or ham and cheese. Their distinctive texture and flavor make them a popular choice in bakeries around the world.
