Croissant is a French pastry that is made from a yeast-based dough that is rolled and folded several times in the rising process. The result is a light, flaky pastry that is often served with coffee or tea.
The word “croissant” is derived from the French word for “crescent”, as the pastry is often shaped into a crescent moon. Croissants are a popular breakfast food in France and are also enjoyed in many other countries around the world.
