A croissant is a rich, buttery, pastry-like, yeast leavened bread that is popular worldwide. The croissant was originally an Austrian invention, but it has come to be much more associated with France. It is easily identified by the characteristic crescent shape and flaky crumb. Croissants are not only popular for breakfast, but they are also used for sandwiches and appetizers. They usually have the best flavor when they are fresh and served slightly warm.
