FAQs

A croissant is in fact neither a cake or bread, but a pastry. The French classify them as a type of pastry, known as a Viennoiserie. This is anything made from dough leavened with yeast, or puff pastry, but with extra ingredients like eggs, butter and cream. Whatever you call them, they make a fantastic breakfast treat!

Honestly, what can’t you make with croissants! While they taste great on their own, they’re so versatile you can add them to a range of sweet and savoury dishes. Create a sandwich with a twist, a mouth-watering pudding, or a savoury breakfast bake to share. Whatever the occasion, croissants are always a crowd-pleaser.

While you can use croissants instead of puff pastry, the result will be different. Croissant dough is different to puff pastry as it contains yeast, which makes it a different texture to puff pastry. That said, croissants work well as the star of the show in a number of different recipes, so there’s plenty of room for creativity!
