A plain croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry originating from France, celebrated for its delicate layers and crescent shape. Made with a combination of flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and enriched with generous amounts of butter, the dough undergoes a meticulous laminating process to achieve its signature texture. Though it is a staple in French cuisine, croissants have gained universal popularity as a breakfast or snack option. They provide a moderate source of carbohydrates and calories, but the high butter content contributes to substantial saturated fats, making them rich yet indulgent. While not particularly nutrient-dense, their light, airy texture makes them a satisfying treat. Pairing a plain croissant with fresh fruit or a side of protein can help balance its nutritional profile. Perfect in moderation, this iconic pastry remains a quintessential part of international bakery traditions.
