Den klassiska croissanten
Den halvmåneformade bakelsen, även om den vanligtvis förknippas med det franska köket, tros ha sitt ursprung på 1600-talet i Wien, för att fira nederlaget av det Osmanska riket under belägringen av Wien 1683.
Enligt legenden skapade bagare i Wien, inspirerade av formen på de osmanska flaggorna, en bakelse som liknade halvmånen som en symbol för seger.
Ursprungligen kallad 'kipferl' på 1200-talet, vilket betyder halvmåne på tyska, gjordes bakverken med en rik, smörig deg liknande den som används i moderna croissanter. I början av 1800-talet introducerade den österrikiske bagaren August Zang croissanten i Frankrike. Zang öppnade ett wienskt bageri i Paris 1838, där han sålde kipferl, som snart anpassades och döptes om till 'croissanter' av fransmännen.
The Classic Croissant
A croissant is a buttery, flaky pastry that has gained worldwide popularity. This iconic pastry is made from laminated dough, requiring flour, yeast, sugar, salt, butter, and water. The dough is folded and rolled multiple times to create thin layers of dough and butter, which is essential for its flaky texture.
The process involves mixing the ingredients, allowing the dough to ferment, and then meticulously rolling and folding it. After shaping the dough into its classic crescent form, it is left to proof before being baked to perfection. The result is a beautifully golden, crisp, and tender pastry that is famous for its delightful taste and texture
