Ever wished you could slice a croissant like a bread loaf? This croissant bread loaf is the best of both worlds: a crusty bread with gorgeous buttery layers inside. I first saw the idea trending on social media – bakers grating frozen butter into dough to get flaky layers without the drama of actual lamination. After a few messy experiments (think butter bits everywhere), I can confidently say it’s worth the effort. In this post, I’ll walk you through two methods to make croissant-style bread: one with sourdough starter for those who love that tangy depth and have a bit of patience, and one with instant yeast for a quicker, more spontaneous bake. Both versions are delicious, indulgent, and easier than traditional croissants. Let’s dive in!
you can have your croissant and loaf it too.
