Ready-to-bake croissant

Though viennoserie is mostly associated with France, originally the pastries came from Vienna. In fact, the word viennoiserie in French directly translates to ‘things from Vienna.’ The pastries became popular in France after an Austrian military official, August Zang, opened a bakery in Paris called Boulangerie Viennoise. The pastries became a French sensation that we all know and love today.
