Croissant

A croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry originating from Austria and popularized in France. Made through a process called laminated dough, it involves folding and rolling layers of dough with butter multiple times, creating thin layers that puff up during baking. This results in a light, airy texture with a crisp exterior and tender interior. Croissants are often enjoyed plain or filled with ingredients like chocolate, ham, or cheese. Their rich flavor and layered structure make them a versatile and beloved pastry for breakfast or snacks worldwide.
