Kroger Bakery Fresh Croissant
What it is
This is a classic French pastry made with layers of dough and butter. It has a flaky, golden-brown exterior and a soft, airy interior. The dough is folded and rolled multiple times, creating the signature texture. This croissant is baked fresh daily at Kroger bakeries.
How people cook with it
Croissants are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, from a simple breakfast item to a base for more elaborate dishes.

- Dessert base
- Snack item
Enjoy this croissant as is, perhaps with a cup of coffee or tea. For a warm treat, you can lightly toast it in an oven or toaster oven until golden. It also makes an excellent base for sandwiches, either sweet or savory. Consider filling it with ham and cheese, or jam and cream.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other pastries, the croissant's distinct layered texture is achieved through a specific lamination process. This results in a lighter, flakier bite than a muffin or scone. Its buttery flavor is also more pronounced than in many other baked goods.
Who it is for
This pastry is enjoyed by anyone seeking a delicious and satisfying baked good for any meal or occasion.
How to keep the rest
To keep any remaining croissants fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil, and freeze. Reheat gently to restore their flaky texture.
