http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croissant


A croissant (French pronunciation: [kʁwasɑ̃] fr-croissant.ogg listen (help·info), anglicised variously as IPA: /krəˈsɑːnt/, /kwɑːˈsɑːn/, etc.) is abuttery flaky pastry, named for its distinctive crescent shape. It is also sometimes called a crescent[1] or crescent roll.[2]Croissants are made of a leavened variant of puff pastry by layering yeast dough with butter and rolling and folding a few times in succession, then rolling.

Crescent-shaped breads have been made since the Middle Ages, and crescent-shaped cakes (imitating the often-worshiped Moon) possibly since classical times.[3] Making croissants by hand requires skill and patience; a batch of croissants can take several days to complete. However, the development of factory-made, frozen, pre-formed but unbaked dough has made them into a fast food which can be freshly baked by unskilled labor. Indeed, the croissanterie was explicitly a French response to American-style fast food. This innovation, along with the croissant's versatility and distinctive shape, has made it the best-known type of French pastry in much of the world. In many parts of the United States, for example, the croissant (introduced at the fast food chains Arby's in the United States and Tim Hortons in Canada in 1983) has come to rival the long-time favoritedoughnuts.[citation needed]
