<p>Croissants were first developed in the mid 1800&rsquo;s in a Viennese bakery. They are part of a family of baked goods prepared by laminating the dough, a process in which dough and butter are layered and folded together to create thick flaky layers once baked. The texture is similar to puff pastries.</p> <p>These authentic French croissants are made with 100% butter in the French style. They are frozen and unbaked. For freshest results, leave frozen until ready to bake. Once baked, they have a golden glow with a crusty exterior and a soft layered interior. They have a rich buttery taste and flaky texture.</p> <p>Restaurants, caf&eacute;s and home kitchens can benefit from having these easy to store and easy to bake croissants on hand. Pair them with fresh fruit and coffee for a simple European breakfast. For lunch, use them for sandwiches. For dessert or a snack, pair them with fresh fruit, nuts, cheese, or chocolate.</p> <br /> <br /> <br />
