Ready To Bake
Danish Pastries & Croissants
  1. Tray up danish pastries or croissants spaced apart. Thaw all products for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to baking.

  3. Bake all croissants and mini-danish pastries for 12 to 15 minutes. All boat and snail danishes for 15 to 18 minutes.
  4. Steam for 10 seconds at start of bake if oven used has this option (steam in the oven makes the pastries a little lighter and fluffier in texture and gives them a crisp shiny exterior).

Note: All the above products can be baked from frozen state. Slightly longer baking times may be necessary. Best results however, will be achieved by thawing products first.
