The "birth" of the croissant itself - that is, its adaptation from the plainer form of kipfel, before its subsequent evolution (to a puff pastry) - can be dated with some precision to at latest 1839 (some say 1838), when an Austrian artillery officer, August Zang, founded a Viennese Bakery ("Boulangerie Viennoise") at 92, rue de Richelieu in Paris. This bakery, which served Viennese specialties including the kipfel and the Vienna loaf, quickly became popular and inspired French imitators (and the concept, if not the term, viennoiserie, a 20th century term for supposedly Vienna-style pastries). The French version of the kipfel was named for its crescent (croissant) shape. Fanciful stories of how the kipfel - and so, ultimately, the croissant - was created are culinary legends, the fact that these stories have long been disproved does not prevent reputable companies from repeating them on their sites.Despite increasing knowledge in cultural history in general and in food history in particular, these myths are still found far more frequently than the documented versions.<br><b>References : </b><br>History Student.
