For Christmas, my staff gave my family a truly great gift! Knowing that we've been missing France and French bread and especially French Croissants, they gave us a three month subscription to William Sonoma's monthly croissant club. What a thoughtful and yummy gift! Our first box of Butter Croissants has arrived and I decided they would be perfect for breakfast this morning. 
So, yesterday, I took 6 of the perfectly formed croissants out of the freezer and put them on a baking sheet to proof overnight.
This morning, when I looked in the oven, they had transformed into this.
All I had to do was bake them for 20 minutes. They were light and airy, tender and delicious. I do think I let them proof just a bit too long (they became humungous), so next time I'll stick to the 9 hours (I went about 13 hours...because I slept in).

I am JEALOUS of that fabulous gift! And, the croissants look amazing!
I gave these to my mom & dad one Christmas. They LOVED them! I got to have one when I visited but only because I begged. They were hoarding them!
Oh. Wow. You have wonderful coworkers to come up with such an excellent gift. Ditto on the Jealous!
Gorgeous homemade croissants.
