I know this croissant isn’t good but I don’t know enough to tell what’s the problem. It had chocolate and was the only “simple” croissant in the bakery.

    Did you bake it at N64 degrees on a Super Mario emulator?

    Freeze it until October and then bring it out and stick it on your front porch for Halloween! Bonus points if it starts molding over a little as the month goes by!

    It’s creaming at you! Why did you bite its tongue?

    Lamination and/or proofing issues.

    The butter may have been applied unevenly and/or the butter got too warm during the lamination process (it helps to chill dough between laminations). There could be too many or too few layers and that may cause separation. The dough may have also been overproofed.

    If this bakery has been around for a while, they likely have a new baker in training. I let things like this go unless it becomes a frequent problem. That’s when I’ll crack it open at the cash register and ask for a refund after showing andtelling them this is the 4th or 5th pastry I’ve purchased like this.

    Based on the expression, it’s asking itself the same question.

    Just a poor quality product from a bakery tbh. Any place that makes a chocolate croissant in that way is not a good bakery.

    Not to be a total purist, but a chocolate croissant typically uses 2-3 chocolate batons inside. The drizzle of melted chocolate is both cheap and lazy. The lamination quality is atrocious, the crumb is very bready and tight. It looks the they might have rolled in a layer of cocoa and sugar, which would explain those huge separations.
