To celebrate their victory, several bakers in Vienna made a pastry in the shape representing the Turkish crescents they had seen on the enemy’s flags.
They called this new pastry the “Kipfel†which is the German word for “crescent†and continued baking if for many years.
The issue behind this story is there are too many versions of it. Some versions take place in Vienna while others appear in Budapest at different times. As well, the story is often intertwined with Marie Antoinette as being the main influence to bring the croissant to France.
Most food historians confirm that crescent-shaped pastries were baked in Vienna during the 17th century and that they migrated to France soon thereafter. They recount, but do not confirm or deny the story of the brave bakers who supposedly created the first croissants.
