TikTok food creators seem to have a unique obsession with croissants, but not in the classic laminated layered form of the French pastry. But rather with riffs like the flattened and crisped version, the chocolate chip cookie crossover, and now a far cry from the original that could be a unique solution for gluten-free eaters using rice paper.

BĂĄnh trĂĄng -- the thin, edible sheets used commonly in Vietnamese cuisine to wrap fillings into spring rolls and other foods -- are the key ingredient in the trend that's racked up millions of views on hundreds of home cook gluten-free "croissant" creations.

Similar to the lamination of dough and butter in a classic croissant technique -- though still vastly different -- this recipe requires the porous sheets of rice paper to be dipped in an egg wash and piled high, layer upon layer, before cutting it into the familiar triangle shape that gets rolled up and baked to puff into a golden pastry.
