For me, crepes ain't worth the stress to make fresh. Just buy a little pack from store and focus on filling is my go to.

Croissants. Only really good when an independent coffee shop makes someone come in at 4am to start making them. Even the industrial ones at the big chains or supermarkets are pretty meh and it's way too complex and time consuming to do myself but made right they are one of the best foods.

Yeah I make a lot of bread but croissants are a whole other level of complicated.

Not to mention that seeing how much butter goes into them would probably make me not want to eat them.

This is like a lot of pastry that uses laminated dough, having them fresh out of the oven as intended is completely different than supermarket. I dunno what process you were using but there's some easier ones and I find they all freeze incredibly well. Once I froze a few full muffin trays of kouign amann to bring somewhere and popped them in an oven, turned out perfect.
