Plain Butter Croissant

The Croissant, Perfected

Some things don't need to be complicated — they just need to be done right. Boulangerie Christophe's Plain Butter Croissant is a masterclass in simplicity: shatteringly crisp on the outside, impossibly light and honeycomb-soft within, with a rich, buttery flavor that lingers long after the last flake has fallen.

Baked fresh every morning, this is the croissant you close your eyes for.

The Art of Laminated Dough

What makes a Boulangerie Christophe croissant extraordinary is the same thing that makes it time-consuming: hand-laminated dough. Christophe's bakers fold premium European-style butter into the dough through a precise series of turns — a process repeated over two days — creating hundreds of paper-thin, alternating layers of dough and butter. When baked, those layers puff and separate into the signature flaky, honeycomb interior that defines a truly great croissant.

Slow-Proofed for Depth of Flavor

After shaping, each croissant undergoes a slow, cold overnight proof. This extended rest allows the dough to develop a subtle complexity of flavor that fast-proofed croissants simply cannot achieve. The result is a croissant with genuine depth — buttery and rich, with a faint, pleasant tang from the long fermentation.

Baked to Order Each Morning

Every croissant is egg-washed by hand and baked in a deck oven at high heat, producing the deep amber, lacquered crust and dramatic layered rise that Boulangerie Christophe is known for.
