Step 11 –Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
Step 12 –Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 13 –Discard the plastic wrap and bake the croissant bake, about 35-40 minutes.
Step 14 –Carefully cover the croissant bake with foil and bake until the tops are golden-brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes.
