7 Facts Croissant
7 Facts about Croissants
1
Austria or French?

The French version of the kipferl was named for its crescent (croissant) shape and has become a universally identifiable shape across the world

A croissant is classified as a “viennoiserie” in france.
In France, the croissant is part of the category of pastries that the French call “Viennoiserie”, a nod to their origins in Vienna, The term viennoiserie comes from a 20th-century term for supposedly Vienna-style pastries.

The croissant, as we know it today, wasn't invented until the early 1900s.
Although the kipferl had firmly taken up residency in France in the 19th century, it was still a far cry from the flakey pastry we know today. The croissant, as we know it, was born in the early 20th century when French pastry chefs replaced the brioche type dough with yeast-leavened puffed pastry (Pâte levée feuilletée) dough and copious amounts of butter.

Waste Bread
Zero Waste Bread
At Days Bakery we give thought and time towards reducing waste. Every loaf has its time to shine and sometimes these loaves are not sold and need to be thrown away.
To make this process more eco-friendly and sustainable we have signed up to Biogen Bygrave. This means any leftover bread can be made into biogas which is captured and fed into super-efficient gas engines to generate renewable electricity for the grid. What remains is a valuable biofertiliser which we put back into the land to grow more crops.
So our bread not only powers you throughout the day but also powers your home.
