AI Overview "Sprouts bakes their croissants in-store using pre-made, prepared dough rather than laminating and rolling the dough from scratch.
In-Store Baking ProcessDelivery: The frozen, pre-shaped or ready-to-proof croissant dough is shipped directly to individual Sprouts Farmers Market locations.
Thawing and Proofing: Bakery staff thaw, shape, and let the unbaked dough rise (proof) so it develops its airy structure.Baking: The croissants go into the in-store ovens daily to yield fresh, warm pastries for the bakery shelves."
