These are tasty and especially tasty warm. They are attractive. But the consistency of the bread leaves is firm. I've finally learned that if I want croissants I need to put in the work to make croissants.

This recipe was a tradition at our home for many Christmases when I was growing up. It became misplaced for a number of years and resurfaced in 2004, just a year before my father died.
