🥐 The Story of the Croissant 🥐
The croissant is considered the undisputed KING of French breakfast pastries 👑
Some vocabulary .
Hörnchen ( Austria)= little horn
Viennoiseries ( French) = Viennese pastries: ALWAYS WITH REAL BUTTER ! (AOP butter)
Croissant = (dough with yeast + Puff pastry ) MY FAVORITE ( number 1)
Pain au chocolat = chocolate croissant ( dough with yeast + Puff pastry) (number 2)
Then:
Chausson aux pommes = apple turnover (without yeast but only Puff pastry + apples )
Croissant aux amandes = Like croissant + almonds
But with yeast
Pain au raisin =Raisin swirl ( douph with yeast + Puff pasrtry)
And only dough with yeast :
Brioche Parisienne = Parisian Brioche (Brioche with a Head )
Brioche au sucre = Brioche with pearl sugar
Brioche au praline =Praline Brioche (Brioche with candied almonds/hazelnuts)
Each pastry has its own characteristics.
And pay attention :Viennoiseries are not the same as pastries! ( It will be another story )
BTW :( For more than 40 years , I start everyday with a croissant and a large black coffee , sugar free. I'm still in good health !, There is very few sugar inside a croissant ) 🥐☕💖
