Do you know how the croissant came about?
The origin of this flaky, buttery-rich yeast roll dates back to 1686, when Austria was at war with Turkey. In the dead of night a group of bakers, hearing Turks tunneling under their kitchens, spread the alarm that subsequently led to the Turkish defeat. The bakers were hence awarded the privilege of creating a commemorative pastry in the shape of the crescent on the Turkish flag. Croissant is the French word for "crescent". Originally, the croissant was made from a rich bread dough. It wasn't until the early 1900s that a creative French baker made it with a dough similar to puff pastry . . . and so a classic was born.
