Small bread, shaped like a half moon. In French, croissant means crescent. Its origin is uncertain, some considering it French, others claiming its creation by Budapest bakers in the 17th century. The most consistent story, however, is that it was created by Austrian bakers in 1686, during the war with Turkey. At the front of the battle, during the night, a group of bakers heard the Turks digging a tunnel under the camp kitchen, possibly with the aim of reaching the rear of the Austrians, to press them. The bakers' alarm led to the defeat of the Turks. As a prize, they were given the privilege of creating a patisserie in the shape of the design of the Turkish flag, a crescent moon, to commemorate the victory. Originally, its dough was denser and bread-like.
