Croissant
Croissants are a type of pastry that is made from dough that is layered with butter. The dough is then rolled out and shaped into a crescent shape. Croissants are typically served with breakfast or as a snack.
The history of croissants can be traced back to Austria in the late 1800s. It is believed that the croissant was created in Vienna by a baker named Anton Schneider. Schneider was inspired by the French pastry, pain au chocolat, which is a chocolate filled pastry.
Schneider created a dough that was layered with butter and rolled out into a crescent shape. The croissant was then baked and served with breakfast. The croissant quickly became a popular pastry in Austria and soon spread to other parts of Europe.
