Welcome to the collection of descriptions dedicated to croissants — exquisite pastries with history and a distinctive shape! If you want to learn more about croissants, their ingredients, preparation methods, and characteristics, you are in the right place. Croissants are crescent-shaped pastries made from puff pastry, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Croissants are made from dough prepared by repeatedly rolling and folding, which creates many thin layers that give them their airy texture and crispness on the outside. The dough usually includes flour, butter, water, sugar, salt, and yeast. As a result, the pastry takes on the characteristic crescent or horseshoe shape, which has become a recognizable symbol of croissants.

Originally, croissants were associated with bakeries and cafes in France, but today this type of pastry is widespread all around the world. Croissants can be plain or filled with various fillings — chocolate, almond, cheese, jam, or ham and cheese — expanding their gastronomic range. They are often served warm and freshly baked, highlighting their layered structure.

Baking croissants requires precision in the preparation process and temperature control, which affects the formation of characteristic airy layers and golden crust. Croissants are usually part of the assortment of various confectionery products and serve as a popular option for breakfast or a light snack in cafes, bakeries, and restaurants.

In the collection of images and descriptions of croissants, you can find materials showing different stages of their preparation, various shape and filling variations, as well as the environment in which they are traditionally served — from cozy home kitchens to professional pastry workshops and comfortable cafes.
