This croissant bread recipe transforms store-bought croissant dough into a beautifully golden, buttery, and flaky loaf that’s perfect for breakfast or brunch. It’s simple to make, with layers that resemble a croissant but in a loaf form.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated crescent dough sheet
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the crescent dough sheet on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Brush the entire surface with melted butter.
  4. Fold the dough over itself in thirds, like folding a letter.
  5. Roll out again into a rectangle and repeat the folding process 2 more times to create layers.
  6. After the final fold, roll into a log and place seam side down in the prepared loaf pan.
  7. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is cooked through.
  9. Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Chill the dough briefly between folds if it becomes too soft to handle.
  • Great served with butter, jam, or used for sandwiches.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
