History of Croissant Day
The Symbolising Croissant
During the siege of Vienna by Ottman Turks in 1683, a baker gave his pastry the shape of a crescent to his pastry for depicting the emblem of Turkey. This croissant for peace Got marked in not only many hearts but also in history.
Dough in Croissant
During the 17th century, Francois Pierre de La Varenne made the dough recipe available in Le Patissier Francois. It is also known as puff pastry. This was the first time when the recipe for the dough came out.
The 1800s: CroissantDocumented
Boulangerie Viennouse, an upscale patisserie was the first place where the Croissant was documented in France.
The Croissant Recipe
The recipe of Croissant that is famous today came from the pen of a French baker named Sylvain Claudius Goy in 1915.
