Hi!
Just wondering if anyone has good recipes for dough to make croissants. I
have a bread machine, so i would like recipes for bread machines.
Thanks :)

I don't think you can make croissants in a bread machine!
Basically the dough is thin layers of butter and "dough", folded and
stacked higher and higher and higher and higher, finally formed into
croissants.
Very labor intensive.
Someone who knows how to do it will probably let you know!

Some angry bread-machine user is about to point out that you can use
most bread machines as a lousy stand mixer, so I'm just going to state
that you could maybe use the bowl in the bread machine to mix the dough.
But it's probably not worth it.

Exactly my thoughts. If you can't or won't make the dough by hand, you sure
as hell aren't going to make croissants.

Take a look at this before you got too committed to the process:

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)

I'm sure it could be done. The machine would be the size of a double-wide
trailer.

You need puff pastry. It's not makable in a bread machine.

No, you need yeasted puff pastry, in other words a yeasted, laminated
dough. Croissants are yeasted.

I think the original poster is more concerned about his bread machine
than he is about whether or not he needs yeast.

Well, neither the OP nor anyone else should be under the illusion
that croissants are made out of puff pastry, which is what you
posted. Just thought I'd clear things up.
