Stale croissant is a day-old or older croissant that has lost its characteristic flakiness and softness. It tends to be drier and harder in texture compared to a fresh croissant. Its flavor may be less pronounced, with a slightly doughier or even slightly bland taste. You can recognize a stale croissant by its lack of shine on the outer surface, a harder crust, and a less pliable interior. Repurposing stale croissants is a fantastic way to reduce food waste.

Stale croissants should be stored in an airtight container or freezer bag to prevent further drying out and to protect from absorbing odors. While refrigeration isn't recommended as it can accelerate staleness, freezing is an excellent option. Simply wrap the croissants individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer bag. They can be thawed at room temperature or warmed directly in the oven when ready to use in recipes like bread pudding or strata.
