Croissant cooks in an air fryer at 160°C (320°F) for 5~7 min. Preheat first, and no flipping needed. Deep golden and crisp to the touch
A day-old bakery croissant comes back to life in five minutes. Keep it at 160°C — hotter and the thin outer layers scorch before the inside warms. If you are baking raw frozen dough instead, the proof is what decides the result, so wait until it is fully risen.
These times reheat a baked croissant. Raw frozen dough must be proofed first, then baked at 170°C for 12-15 minutes.

What usually goes wrong
- Reheating above 180°C — the outer layers burn
- Baking frozen dough without proofing — it stays flat and hard
- Reheating too long — it dries into crumbs
