Croissants are made using a "roll in Dough". This a technique in which the dough is rolled into a rectagle and then smeared quite liberally with a roll in fat. Most home recipes call for butter or a mix of butter and flour.(Butter is 80% pure fat and 20% waterand other matter, the flour helps absorb some of the water so the dough doesn't become soggy). In commercial bakeries, however, use a roll in fat such as "Covo". It has a heavier more waxy texture than butter,and is cheaper, making it better for quantity production. The major problem is that it is a trans fat. Bad for the arteries, not that the cholesterol in butter is much better. The dough is then folded in a series of 3 folds and 4 folds. (1 fold of each is called a turn) the dough is allowed to rest between turns under refridgeration for at least 1/2 hour to keep gluten from makin the doiugh too elastic. 3 turns will give you close to 1000 layer. The fat between each layer is what gives the croissant it's flakiness. The dough is rolled out the last time and cut into triangles and rolled wide end to narrow and the ends pinched. Then simply bake @ 425 F. for about 25 min. Some doughs use a little yeast as well so they require "proofing" before baking.
