    Hi tazz,

    There's an earlier thread on making croissants so I've added your thread to it to keep the recipes together.

    Can I show off my homemade croissants? :p

    I made them using the Brioche recipe from Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes and then layering in some butter.
    It was done very unscientifically and given the fact I was very lazy about it I am very pleased with the results. With a bit more care they would have been very flaky.
    They were very yummy as they were though.

    Its not quite the same dough so they would be crispier than croissants, you could make danish pastries from it though ;)

    Hi

    Yes. They're called and Croissants de Patissier (made by a pastry chef rather than a baker. Found in The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion:))

    in short no - coissants are made with a yeasted dough, as are danish pastries

    Technically no (as mentioned above) but Nigella makes "cheat's chocolate croissants" using puff pastry and while the texture doesn't quite match a true croissant, they're still delicious. :drool:
