Village Bakery Large Croissant
What it is
This is a large, classic croissant made with rich butter. It has a flaky exterior and a soft, airy interior. The dough is laminated, meaning layers of butter are folded into the dough multiple times. This process creates the signature texture and buttery flavor. It is a popular baked good enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack.

This large croissant is best enjoyed fresh. You can gently warm it in an oven or toaster oven for a few minutes to enhance its crispness and aroma. Avoid microwaving, as this can make the pastry tough. It is delicious on its own, or you can split it horizontally to add your favorite fillings. Consider sweet options like fruit preserves or honey, or savory choices such as ham and cheese.

How to keep the rest
