Gotta admit I’m tempted by the fusion, and in the spirit of it, to steer the concept further away from a European style, I’d pair it with matcha ice cream.
But half of it is air?
Maybe it’s croissant flavored air?
Always has been.
I’m not mad about the mango filling, but those croissants look really pale
Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.
Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.
Informative comment, thanks!
the rise is good, though. i imagine they used something like rice flour
Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don’t really need anything at all. They’re already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.
They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.
There’s really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you’re putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that’s really just personal preference.
Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.
Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.
French people wouldn’t mind this and if some did they’d still rather swallow their tongues than admitting that you managed to make them angry.
Why would they croissants aren’t French they’re Austrian but popularized by an Austrian baker in France.
Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
What in god’s green earth is this?
I love a croissant with cheese and ham as much as the next guy, but why does the cheese look… foamy? And why is the ham MELTING?? And why is it OVER THE CROISSAINT!!!
It’s lovecraftian…
I’m going to that this at face value and assume you were high or sleepy. Lmao
That is something like a lemon curd or custard inside, and a pink buttercream style frosting on top.
It was meant as a joke, since it resembles ham and cheese, which are genuinely good in a croissant, but hey.
Looks like icing, not frosting.
Not had my coffee yet, but that’s obviously canadian bacon and pineapple
Am I missing the joke?
Oh god, a crompouce.
You know we should just keep this stuff within the Netherlands. No need to inflict it on other countries :)
Wow, you guys out did the cronut. Impressive, sorta.
« Non mais tu te fous de ma gueule ou quoi!?! Putain mais c’est quoi cette merde!?! »
wtf custard with ham on top
Who gives a fuck what the French think? The origins of the croissant are Austrian.
Hello. I’m Austrian. I approve of mango croissants. We have apricot ones, so why not this.
I bet the apricot ones are amazing
Absolutely! If you want an easy version that’s close to as good, you can cut store bought puff pastry into triangles, spread jam on them, then roll them into crescents and bake. It’s what I do since I’ve gone vegan, since they’re otherwise full of cow butter, and I recommend.
There’s plenty innovative croissant shops in paris too. Bet the threats they received were from “French” Americans.
Or just people with French names who were just being asshats on twitter
Or no one at all.
classic viennoiserie
The origin sure, as much as bread’s origin is in wheat. Croissant as you know it is French, from Paris specifically. Not that I condone them having some kind of veto on how people get to use this invention now.
No, the shape and most of the composition. The French are just entitled enough to pretend it is theirs. Western European nations seem to like doing this.
What you are talking about is kipferl which is definitely Austrian. But someone took that and made it into something new using yeast-leavened laminated dough, called it croissant, and where they did that was 100% in Paris, France. There is no doubt about it because it happened recently enough. They are absolutely not the same end product and I would be outraged if someone served me half-moon shaped bread roll, which is what the Austrian thing is, while trying to pass it off as a croissant.
These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
As a french croissant maker, yours look amazing. You are definitely skilled and I would taste those enthousiastically
There is not a single world where the people who sent death threats if they even exist are French. Variations of croissant are also common in France and the one shown above in the picture looks highly qualitative.
Trolls on the other end pretending to be French and outraged, now that seems more likely.
If the croissant variant just looks like shit French people will likely make fun of it. But death threats? Bullshit.
I mean, they could be French trolls, I’d wager that French trolls would be even more likely to do this.
Ooh I want to do a guava and cream cheese croissant now.
Why is everyone hating on french people? I do not quite get it.
The French like to pretend the way they do things is the only correct way to do things.
The one thing I will give the French, they don’t take shit. When the French gov tried to raise the retirement age (if I remember correctly) people took to the streets in a big way. It was glorious.
most nations especially the USA could learn a lot about how to maintain a democratic state from France
Like traffic laws.
The way the French traffic laws work, it would literally be safer if it was just a free-for-all.
Traffic laws are the worst example, french traffic laws are flawless apart from the priority to smaller roads on the right
This is Europeans in general though
People say all kinds of things yet France remains an incredibly popular holiday destination. It’s mostly tsundere bickering. French people can be arrogant but honestly not nearly as much as the Dutch and they get zero shit for it. And the other stereotypes like being romantic, liking good food or having a knack for arts aren’t actually negative if you think about it. They just get overexaggerated.
You say romantic, I say cheating whores.
It’s called polyamory, Frenchies, you can just have an open relationship.
Right. They have contributed a lot to culture. A lot of literary, scientific, technological, philosophical and artistic achievements. Idk why people that have only benefited from France by enjoying these achievements, and not at all suffered from it as some have, unfortunately, hate on it.
So it’s not just us Italians
It sounds gross, but it looks like they are made well and they probably know more about flavor profiles than I do, so I’m not against it in theory. Would probably not order it myself, but I’d have a bite of my friends if they offered, at least for novelty sake.
