Is Croissant made by French or Italy, Fun History of Great Bakery ? 4-21-2016
Yes—croissants are strongly associated with France, but their origin is a bit more interesting.
The modern croissant as we know it—flaky, buttery, and layered—was refined and popularized in France, especially i
n Parisian bakeries. However, its roots trace back to Vienna, where a similar pastry called the kipferl existed centuries earlier.
The story goes that Austrian baker August Zang opened a Viennese-style bakery in Paris in the 1800s, introducing these
crescent-shaped pastries. French bakers then adapted the recipe using laminated dough (with lots of butter), creating
the croissant we recognize today.
So:
Origin idea: Austria (Vienna)
Modern croissant: perfected in France 🇫🇷
That’s why croissants are considered a classic French pastry today.
