Croissants are a type of French pastry that are flaky, buttery and crescent-shaped. They are made from a rich, yeast-based dough that is rolled and folded several times to create flaky layers. Croissants are typically enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, and can be filled with a variety of sweet or savory fillings such as chocolate, almond paste, cheese, or ham and cheese. They are a staple food in France and can be found in most bakeries and cafes.
