However! If we extrapolate based on the nature of machine-bread vs.
bread, and try to conceive of an automatic croissant maker for home use,
wouldn't it be grand if you could just dump in the ingredients and a few
hours later pull out a large cube of flaky goodness? It could be the
next 'bloomed' onion! Just imagine, a croissant the size of a
cantaloupe, that you can share with the whole family!

(Yeah, alright, not all that funny, but it's 8:30am and I've been at
work for 8 hours, and will be here for one and a half more)
