The croissant is a type of crescent-shaped pastry that is inextricably linked with France, who made this particular pastry the most famous. The croissant is a buttery and flaky Vienna-style pastry. It may come as no surprise after that that the ancestors of the croissant are documented in Austria. Going back as far as the thirteenth century, the kipferl, an ancestor of the croissant, is referenced to in Austria.
The croissant is a popular breakfast item made from yeast leavened dough and butter. It is usually served hot. The croissant itself dates back to the nineteenth century to a Viennese bakery founded in Paris by an Austrian artillery officer. The croissant, whose name means crescent, was inspired by the Viennese kipferl being sold.
Croissants may be eaten plain, although often with butter, but they can also be stuffed, such as in the pain aux raisins and the pan au chocolate, which contain raisins and chocolate respectively. They can also be stuffed with items such as ham and cheese, which is popular in the US.
