I love all things croissant. Think Almond Frangipane Croissants, think Sourdough Pain au Chocolat think Chocolate Almond Croissants! Think Lemon Meringue Cruffins or Kouign Amann
This is a little sourdough version of croissant, which still requires the same amount of laminating and effort. But think of it as a way to burn off the buttery calories before eating them. That way you will feel a whole lot better about giving them a go!
Good luck. #youcandoit
