Giant Croissant
15 servings
105 minutes
The giant croissant is a true work of art in European baking. This airy, flaky, and buttery masterpiece originates from France, where the croissant became a symbol of morning gastronomy. Its rich flavor unfolds thanks to cream, butter, and rye sourdough, creating a delicate balance of sweetness and crispness. Such a croissant is not just a morning dessert — it can serve as a base for creative fillings: from chocolate to herb cheese. Perfect for festive breakfasts, cozy family gatherings, or simply enjoying the aroma of fresh pastry. The preparation takes time, but the result is worth every minute: a golden crust, tender dough, and unforgettable taste.
