Flaky in a good way.
 
It's #TrendingTuesday and this week @alexawhatsfordinner is trying out the viral croissants sold at Lafayette, a French bakery & café in New York City. The croissants at Lafayette are not your average croissant. The Croissant Suprême is a crispy swirled croissant filled with seasonal pastry creams, drizzled with glaze, and finished with toppings. It's a 3-day process to bake these bad boys and they sell out fast! Guests wait in line for up to an hour to try a fresh Croissant Suprême. To keep people on their toes, Lafayette introduces a new seasonal flavor every month (this month it's Peaches & Cream)! The recipe from Lafayette remains a secret, but if you want to try your hand at making croissants at home, try our favorite recipe.

Sourdough Black Sesame Swirl Buns with Raspberry Jam by @lisathompson

These naturally leavened buns are a labor of love, perfect for a weekend baking project for sourdough lovers! A rich black sesame filling is spread over a sheet of sweet dough, then twisted and swirled into a hypnotizing spiral. Don't have any black sesame paste? Feel free to swap in tahini. The buns will taste the same, even if they will be lacking a little bit of drama!

Summer Tomato & Pesto Tart by @madebymrmillas

This Summer Tomato and Pesto Tart is a simple, yet elegant dish perfect for lunch or an appetizer for your next gathering. It's made with store-bought puff pastry, an assortment of beautiful summer tomatoes, basil pesto and fresh mozzarella. Crimp the edges for a rustic, visually-pleasing tart that'll really wow your guests!

Blackberry Mint Pie by @onesarcasticbaker

In my opinion, pie is superior to cake when it comes to summer desserts. Seasonal fruits like berries and stone fruit taste delicious when paired with a flaky, buttery crust. In this recipe, mint is added to an otherwise traditional blackberry pie for a refreshing bite.

Vanilla Bean Cream Puffs by @food.duchess

When it comes to making pastries, you either go big or you go home. This Cream Puff recipe isn't for the faint heart – they require attention, patience, and time. The end result is a light & fluffy pastry filled with a creamy filling, and topped with a chocolate glaze.
