Have you ever had a moment of creative genius? We haven’t either, but Dominique Ansel did when he created the Cronut™ — a cross between a Croissant and a Doughnut. Just in case you can’t make it to New York, our Food Network Kitchen is going to show you how to make a version of this at home. Happy frying!

  1. I've actually never head anyone say it the "American way" you claim is more common. I have always heard "Cross-ont" so, does that make you wrong also? It cracks me up how angry you are about her supposed mispronounce of a piece of bread. People are so lame.

  2. omg i never knew that. i work in a bakery and i was wondering why some french customer we always have always pronounces it like that

  3. lol foodnetwork, way to show us how to do nothing! "buy storebought croissant dough and shape it like a doughnut" that's not what the recipe is, the dough itself is a mixture of a doughnut and a croissant. Plus, who the hell can buy ready made croissant dough? lol Anyway, that's my rant, the presenter was absolutely hilarious on a positive note

  4. Not to mention she was twisting the cutter, which you should not do with puff pastry because it can fuse the layers. Push straight down.

  5. This is the Sandra Lee "Semi-Homemade" version. Well, to be fair, Sandra Lee would use the dough that comes in a can.

  6. which chain of supermarkets sell these croissant dough, or better yet, where can I buy one in New York or Brooklyn?

  7. Exactly what brand is the croissant dough in your video? I've seen canned Pillsbury croissant dough in supermarkets, which is a horrible quality packed with preservatives. The dough in the video looks much more fresh.

  8. no i mean making puff pastery the way they make puff pastery in culanary school it takes about 2 hours to make it properly .
    its alot of work but so worth it

  9. This was published in 2013, it’s 2018 and I still can’t find frozen croissant dough in any freezer section. All they have is puff pastry which is similar but missing the yeast found in croissant dough. Where do you shop that they have croissant dough for sale?
