History of the dish
Croissant is a flour product that traditionally has the shape of a bagel and is prepared with butter with a fat content of at least 82%. I'm pretty sure everyone just said in unison that they invented croissants in France. But no. From about the 12th century, they began to be baked in Austria. In Vienna, bakers for the first time prepared crescent-shaped buns on the occasion of the failure of the Ottoman army during the capture of the city, and the shape symbolized precisely the Ottoman crescent. Somewhat later in Vienna, they began to be served in coffee houses along with oriental coffee.
But croissants gained their worldwide fame and national love already being in France around 1770. It was France that raised these small dough crescents to the rank of culinary heritage and made them the hallmark of its national cuisine. Sweet and salty, with or without filling, with different flours and different glazes - these are all modern croissants. And of course, today, in an age of crazy speed and progress, croissants are often prepared from ready-made puff yeast and other dough. They're great, but dough is the backbone of the basics. As soon as the dough disappoints, the taste is not the same. So keep an eye on the quality as we proceed. Our recipe involves croissants from ready-made puff pastry, let's go.
