Morning Bun

📍 Los Angeles Bakery-Deli $$

at Gjusta

"The morning bun is made from croissant dough — laminated, rolled with orange sugar, baked until the exterior caramelizes. The cardamom is structural, not decorative. This is a pastry that is made in-house by a bakery that has been doing this for years. The texture is crisp, the interior is soft and yeasty."

"Croissant dough in a morning bun form is a technique that requires the kitchen to understand lamination. The butter layers create the structure; the orange sugar creates the crust. The cardamom is in the dough, not just sprinkled on top. This is the kind of pastry that justifies the trip to Gjusta."
