Our croissants are prepared using a method that layers butter between thin sheets of dough, then folded and rolled repeatedly. This process, known as lamination, creates a light, airy structure. Each batch is proofed and baked at Sunrise Bakehouse daily, following a recipe developed over time.
Contact usAt Sunrise Bakehouse, our flaky butter croissants begin with a simple mixture of flour, water, yeast, and salt. The dough is chilled, then enveloping a block of European-style butter. Through a series of turns and rests, the butter and dough form many thin layers. This structure, when baked, yields the characteristic flakiness and golden color that defines our croissants.
We use butter with 84% fat content for optimal flakiness and rich flavor.
Locally milled flour provides structure and a subtle nutty taste.
A slow cold proof develops depth of flavor and tender crumb.
Controlled steam during baking creates a crisp, caramelized exterior.
Sunrise Bakehouse is a Los Angeles bakery focused on traditional viennoiserie. Our flaky butter croissants are made from scratch each morning using a multi-day process. We select ingredients with attention to origin and handling: French-style butter, organic flour, and filtered water. The dough is mixed, rested, laminated, shaped, and proofed under specific temperature conditions. Baking occurs in small batches to maintain consistency. Our approach emphasizes technique and ingredient quality rather than shortcuts, offering customers a product that reflects care and knowledge.
Combine flour, water, yeast, and salt. Rest to develop gluten.
Enclose a butter block in dough. Fold and roll multiple times.
Cut triangles, roll into crescents. Proof at controlled humidity.
Brush with egg wash. Bake in a steam-injected oven until golden.
The layers are incredibly distinct and the butter flavor is prominent without being greasy. A real craft.
I appreciate the transparency about ingredients and process. The croissant has a beautiful crust and airy interior.
These croissants remind me of those from Parisian bakeries. The flakiness and color are spot on.
