nah, cheese and spinach croissants are really good, i think they use a less sweet version
yeah definitely, nothing nearly as sweet as the ones we have over here. I've spent a great deal of time in france and have no recollection of a cheese sandwich made with a croissant….shit's always in a baguette or a different type of pastry.

It does, croissants have way more sugar than the equivalent weight of bread.
croissants are something like 50g sugar to 500g four, bread is usually 1 teaspoon sugar to 500g flour, and thats only for the yeast.

The first result for crusty white bread loaf on google (a Delia) called for a tablespoon of sugar, a comparable croissant recipe called for 2, with more flour. You can't really put a particularly large amount of sugar into a dough as your yeast will do a mental (I know you like baking and know this already Nick), basically my point is the amount of sugar you can safely put in isn't really a huge amount.

Delia said a tablespoon of sugar in bread, that's a huge amount, silly cow.
swear a croissant would be too sweet to use for sandwich. seen it before but also been too suspect to try

The dough doesn't have much more sugar in it than say a crusty white loaf dough could have.
