Enter the croissant doughnut, a hybrid (or “hybread,” if you will), which is the latest craze in the world of pastry. In this case, the “hole” is greater than the sum of its parts. In fact, people travel from around the world to New York City and wait up to five hours for a bite of the original flaky, doughnut-shaped confection created by Chef Dominique Ansel.
