in French and be more famous there? After investigating, Marie Antoinette was the one who
'brought' the bread to France. We all know Marie Antoinette was the empress of Louis XVI
who lived in the 18th century, and we also know that she was the daughter of the royal crown
of Austria who was then led by Queen Maria Theresa.

Antoinette was very fond of kipferl made by people in her country, so that while
living in France, she always presented the bread to her guests. They liked it and became a
famous kipferl in France, then changed its name to croissant berarti which means crescent ―
and experienced the development of the form as it is today.

A. Popular Austrian Original Pastries Croissants in France

France has been known as one of the pastry heaven in the world. One of the well-
known pastries is croissants. Nevertheless, the original croissants are from Austria.The
development of croissants is more unique, not only from filling, there are even some cakes
combined with croissants that make it more attractive. Croissant is another hybrid of various
pastries.This horseshoe or crescent shaped pastry is also referred to as Viennoiseries. Because
this pastry actually came from originally from Vienna, Austria.

In the 17th century, at that time Austria was besieged by Turkish royal forces who
wanted to control Western Europe including Austria. Thanks to help from Germany and
Poland, Austria succeeded in driving away Turkish troops.
 To celebrate, the Austrians made a cake called kipferl and was in the shape of a
crescent (referring to the symbol on the Turkish flag) as a symbol of mockery if Turkey was
conquered by Austria. After the event, the king of France, Louis XVI, married the royal
daughter of Austria, Marie Antoinette. The empress is known as a lover of kipferl and often
presents the cake from her country to the guests. From that point on kipferl became known in
France.

Gradually the name kipferl began to change in French to a croissant or crescent. This
pastry is made from folding fat dough, bread dough with a layer of fat. When baked it will
expand and form crunchy, savory layers. Then croissants are topped with chocolate, almonds
and cheese. The form is small and also given various entries. Even so people in the world
know croissants as French pastries.

History
The term "baguette" was first born in 1920. Previously this term was used to refer to
"sticks", so this bread is also shaped like a stick. Currently, the baguette symbol is used as a
French country cultural icon alongside the Eiffel Tower, Croissant bread, and others.

that napoleon soldiers did not bother carrying too much stock on the battlefield. Its long

by the Napoleon himself before rushing to invade Russia.

Bread from France is usually used as a daily meal. Usually this bread has a round
shape with a diameter of about 5-6 centimeters and a length of 65 centimeters. Because the

In France, crepe is also transformed as a main dish. This is where modern buckwheat
crepe dishes are commonly served, besides flour crepe is also easy. Crepe can be filled with
cheese, vegetables, meat, and sometimes eggs. Both the crepe shop in the country or in the
United States, enjoy variety, for customers to order food either as a main dish or dessert,

Eating Bread is their Culture

already bitten. Eating the bread is another thing.

the bread with their hands to devour, and repeat the process until the bread runs out. They
also serve bread on a table and not on a plate. Speaking of dishes, if you eat food with a
delicious sauce, the Frenchman's habit is to tear a piece of bread and mix it with your sauce
as your dessert.
Suggestion
In our opinion, the development of baguete and creppes croissants is quite rapid and
will not grow because in all corners of the world, you know these foods and in one of the
French countries have also applied these foods as staple foods and in our opinion Indonesia
can also make croisat, baguet and crepes as a meal main or changing rice. or can be used as
additional food or snacks
