Croissants were first developed in the mid 1800’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. 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.
