Is there a good way to save fresh croissants instead of buying them each morning?

[Anonymous]

There's one bakery that makes extraordinarily good croissants. I'd like to buy a dozen instead of just 2 at a time for me and my husband. But unsure if...freezing them in ziplock bag, then baking them when we want to eat them will produce the same good croissants or they'll be sort of ruined? If there's no real good way to preserve them in bulk, I guess I'll just stick to buying on the morning we get a craving.

Not if you want that amazing croissant texture. But if you want a soft doughy facsimile of a croissant, they make plenty of those that freeze and can be reheated in the morning

Just buy frozen ones and bake them

As the bakery if they will sell them to you unbaked. Then you can freeze them and only bake what you want to eat immediately.

To much trouble and no reputable bakery will do this. Just buy from the places that sell frozen ones: https://www.thespruceeats.com/best-frozen-croissants-5085181

Buy them fresh and then freeze them right away.

Definitely. Just put for a few minutes in a toaster oven.

Give Trader Joe's frozen a try. I'm not going to claim they are as good aas bakery, but they are quite decent, especially fresh from the oven, so are nice to have when you can't make it to the bakery or don't want to pay bakery prices.

I make pastries as a hobby. I usually freeze a bunch and heat up at 350F for 10 minutes or so. I wrap them individually and then put them in a larger ziploc bag. I'd say they're almost as good as they are fresh.

Freeze them as soon as you can. Pastries dry out as the butter loses moisture.

Two months max in the freezer.

Freeze those bakery croissants and let them come to room temp on the counter top. Bread products freeze well!
