    Our baking is ready. Now you know how to bake real French croissants with a creamy taste!

Baked for 15 minutes, at 200 degrees in the oven. It took 30 minutes to prepare the dough, while 3 times for 30 minutes frozen in the refrigerator. Use only butter - any other fat will spoil the dough. Bake small croissants, too large products can remain raw inside and burn on the outside. Since this is a rather time-consuming process, that's why I always cook a double or even triple portion in one sitting: both the dough and baked goods freeze perfectly. I wish you a successful cooking and a pleasant appetite!
