How Authentic Croissants Are Made In France | Regional Eats | Food Insider

Be it summer or winter, there is nothing that warms your heart more than a freshly baked croissant. But achieving these flaky, crunchy layers just can't be done overnight; it takes days of preparation and butter - lots of butter. We visit Frédéric Roy in his bakery in Nice, on the French Riviera, where he shows us how true artisanal croissants are made.

The delicate, crispy flakiness of the outer layer, combined with the delicate flavor of quality butter, and the soft, melt in your mouth interior, will absolutely blow you away. Eat them plain.
