National Croissant Day 30th January

This day is dedicated to the buttery, flaky delight that is the crescent shape pastry.

The croissant originated from the Austrian Kipferl, a crescent shaped bread dating back at least to the 13th Century. An Austrian baker, August Zang, opened a bakery in 1839 in Paris. (A Brief History Of The Croissant).

Late in the 19th to early 20th century French bakers adapted the recipe replacing the bread-like dough with laminated, buttery puff pastry.

The tale of the croissant and how it got its shape says that a Austrian baker created the crescent-shaped bread to celebrate the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, mirroring the crescent moon of the Turkish flag.

How do we celebrate National Croissant Day? Here are a few ideas. Start your day with a freshly baked croissant. Organise a croissant tasting party or experiment with croissant inspired dishes.
