At each Lawson store, two types of bakery "croissant bagels", which are "hybrid" croissants and bagels, will be released on July 15th.

Croissant x bagel = new texture?
Croissant x bagel = new texture?

This product is made by folding croissant dough containing malt into 27 layers and baking it in the oven. You can enjoy two textures, a crispy surface like a croissant and a moist and chewy content like a bagel.

The lineup includes "sugar" (130 yen including tax) with almond powder kneaded into the dough and "cheese" (140 yen including tax) with cheddar cheese, samsoe cheese and gouda cheese kneaded into it.

A combination of croissants and bagels is sold as "cragle" at a bagel shop in New York, USA, and is gaining popularity. It seems that the product that appeared this time has this cragle as a motif.
