Celebrating National Croissant Day with Moffat Ovens

Every morning, bakery cases across the country showcase rows of fresh croissants. Their golden-brown exteriors and flaky layers tell customers exactly what to expect with that first bite. For foodservice operators, consistently delivering this experience is both an art and a science that requires the right combination of skill and equipment.

As National Croissant Day approaches on January 30th, it’s worth noting how this iconic pastry has evolved from Parisian cafés to modern American kitchens. Today’s customers expect quality whether they’re dining at a boutique hotel, grabbing breakfast at their local café, or enjoying pastries in their school cafeteria. Meeting these expectations while managing production at scale requires thoughtful solutions.

The Science Behind the Layers

Creating perfect croissants involves precise temperature control and careful timing. Each fold and turn of the dough builds the foundation for those signature buttery layers.

This means that ovens are always a critical component. For many bakers, they’re just as important an ingredient as butter. It’s important to consider the demands of high-volume production without compromising on the quality that croissant connoisseurs demand, especially on National Croissant Day.

We’ve established that people can be obsessed with croissants (we certainly are). We know that the oven is a critical component of quality and efficiency. But what type of oven is best? Let’s start with the ovens that we’ll be using at Alto-Hartley to celebrate National Croissant Day — Moffat.

Moffat ovens bring this reliability to professional kitchens through features designed specifically for artisan baking:

• Temperature precision that maintains ideal conditions from edge to edge
• Consistent heat distribution that ensures uniform results across every rack
• Programmable settings that help staff achieve expert-level results
• Efficient operation that supports both quality and sustainability

While croissants might be the star of National Croissant Day, versatile kitchen equipment should enhance your entire baking program. A truly valuable oven needs to do more than just bake the perfect pastry – it needs to streamline your entire operation.

Moffat ovens bring this versatility to your kitchen through adaptable settings that support everything from delicate Danish pastries to hearty breads. The intuitive controls make staff training straightforward, allowing your team to focus on crafting quality products rather than mastering complex equipment. These ovens are designed to maximize production without sacrificing the attention to detail your baked goods require. And with smart heating technology, they help control energy costs while maintaining the consistent results your customers expect.
