Prompt
A croissant cut cleanly in half to reveal its honeycomb of laminated layers, a pat of cold butter and a folded dough block beside it on a marble slab, scattered flour, soft north light from a window on the left raking across the open crumb, pale butter layers alternating with golden baked strata, shallow depth of field --ar 3:2 --stylize 200

How to use this prompt
The point of the shot is the layer structure, and layers only read when light crosses them rather than hitting them flat. That is why the prompt puts the window to the left and says raking — grazing light throws a tiny shadow off each butter seam, which is what makes the strata visible. Frontal light flattens the crumb into a uniform yellow. Keep the dough block and cold butter in frame as evidence of process; without them the model renders a generic pastry. Specify a clean cut, not torn, because a torn edge reads as bread rather than lamination.
Variations to try
- Overhead flat lay of the cut croissant with the dough block and butter arranged in a grid
- A hand pulling the two halves apart to stretch the layers
