DID YOU KNOW?
The famous croissant-shaped Viennese pastry actually dates back to 1683 when the troops of the Ottoman Empire laid siege to the city of Vienna in Austria.
It was a baker who got up early and gave the alert when he heard the Turks in the city's tunnels and allowed the Austrian army to counter the enemy's assault. To celebrate the victory, the city's bakers made a bread roll in the shape of the crescent on the flag of the defeated.
In 1770, Marie-Antoinette of Austria introduced this bread roll to Paris, but it was not until 1920 that Parisian bakers began to make the flaky croissant with butter that we know today.
