Croissant

Cultural Context

The croissant, a symbol of French pastry, is believed to have originated from the Austrian kipferl. It became popular in France during the 19th century, often enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack. Its flaky, buttery layers are achieved through a process known as lamination, where dough and butter are folded and rolled multiple times. Today, croissants are enjoyed worldwide, with variations including chocolate-filled and almond versions, showcasing their versatility and global appeal.
