What the AI looks for in Croissants

Fat type
For a true croissant, butter should be the laminating fat, not margarine or vegetable shortening. Butter gives the flavor and the shattering layers. Oil-based croissants are soft and bland.
Format
Choose between shelf-stable snack croissants and frozen bake-at-home croissants depending on whether you want convenience or quality. Frozen unbaked croissants come much closer to bakery quality than any shelf-stable croissant.
Filling
Check whether the croissant is plain or filled with cocoa, vanilla or fruit cream. Filled snack croissants are dessert-sweet and do not work for sandwiches.

Brands that matter

  • 7Days: Shelf-stable filled snack croissants.

What to avoid

  • Buying shelf-stable croissants for sandwiches. They are too sweet and soft.
  • Reheating croissants in a microwave, which makes them soggy. Use an oven or toaster oven.
