History of Croissants
Quite popularly, croissants are associated with France, and naturally, people assume they originate in the country as well. However, contrary to this fact, croissants did originate in Vienna, Austria. Back in Austria, the world’s favorite pastry was called kipferl. The name itself sounds so interesting that one would search for the best café in Dubai and head over to have a little bit of indulgence.
Originally, our beloved croissants back in Austria were baked from whole wheat flour that was fermented using yeast. However, by the time they reached France around the 19th century, refined flour replaced whole wheat flour and became croissants from kipferl. How it was introduced to France and who introduced it—there are many stories and myths around it. We foodies are happy as long as we have delicious food coming our way, so why bother about how it traveled and who introduced it? Right?

The European Way to Relish a Croissant
Traditionally, layered pastries have been popular across different European countries through the ages. Some countries called them kipferl, and some countries called them by different names. However, the modern-day Croissant, which is closely related to the Austrian kipferl when it reached France, was initially adopted across Europe as it is without making any wild changes to it. Today, croissants are savored in Europe, mostly in their original form which resembles the French and the Austrian way, but people fill them with fillings. Sometimes savory fillings such as ham or Gruyère cheese are used, and sometimes sweet fillings like fruit compote are used. The French are almost always happy to see such adaptations of their pastry, and you will find such versions at some of the best cafes in Dubai.
