Croissants
ur mission is to blend the rich traditions of French baking with our unique flair, creating pastries that are as delightful to the palate as they are to the eye. Among our most cherished creations is the croissant, a timeless classic that embodies the essence of French patisserie. Here’s a peek into the magic behind our croissants and what makes them an irresistible treat for any occasion.
Crafting the perfect croissant is a delicate art form that requires precision, patience, and passion. At Tonton Bakes, our croissants are made using traditional French techniques, ensuring that each one is a masterpiece. We start with the finest ingredients: high-quality flour, pure butter, fresh yeast, and a touch of sugar and salt. These ingredients are meticulously mixed and folded to create a dough that is both rich and light.

The key to a perfect croissant lies in the lamination process. Our bakers carefully fold and roll the dough multiple times, incorporating layers of butter that create the croissant’s signature flakiness. This process is done by hand, ensuring that each layer is evenly distributed and that the croissant will rise beautifully in the oven.
When you bite into a Tonton Bakes croissant, you experience a symphony of textures and flavors. The outer layer is crisp and golden, giving way to a tender, buttery interior that melts in your mouth. The layers are distinct yet harmonious, creating a perfect balance of crunch and softness. Each croissant is baked to perfection, with a rich aroma that promises a delightful eating experience.
While we take pride in our classic butter croissant, we also love to experiment with flavors and fillings. At Tonton Bakes, you’ll find a variety of croissants to suit every taste. Our almond croissant is a customer favorite, filled with a sweet almond paste and topped with toasted almonds for an extra crunch. For those who crave a touch of indulgence, our chocolate croissant, or pain au chocolat, features rich, dark chocolate nestled within the flaky layers.
