Croissants {Hungary-Budhapest}
The earliest story dates to 1686, during the Ottoman Turks
siege of Budhapest. Legend has it that a baker working late
at night heard the Turks tunneling under the walls of the
city and alerted the military. The military collapsed the tunnel in on the
Turks and eliminated the threat, saving the city. The baker baked a
Crescent shaped pastry in the shape of the Turk’s Islamic emblem,
the crescent moon, so that when his fellow Austrians bit
into the croissant, they would be symbolically devouring the Turks.

VIENNA BREAD
Recipe for 4 portions:
METHOD:
1. To produce quality Vienna bread, the dough should be fully fermented but not over

2. Young dough will result in loaves with a tough rubbery crust, while loaves from over
fermented dough will have a hard brittle crust.

pointed shape. Vienna bread should have almost full prove before it is placed in the
oven.
4. The loaves are usually given 2-3 more diagonal cuts before being loaded into the
oven.
5. Sesame or poppy seeds are sometimes sprinkled on the loaves before baking (give
water wash before putting seed).
CHARACTERISTICS:
The interior characteristics of Vienna bread differ from pan bread. The grain is more open
with some holes, the crumb drier.
Testure is harsher.
The crust and crumb are more thoroughly baked than the pan bread, which accounts for the
fine flavour and taste.

Crumb texture soft and spongy
Colour chocolate
The Black Forest region of southern Germany (Der Schwarzwald) is known for its sour
Morello cherries and for Kirsch, or Kirschwasser, a double-distilled, clear cherry brandy made from
them. It’s not surprising, then, that desserts made with both the cherries and the Kirsch are part of
the regional repertoire. Its German name is Schwarzwälderkirschtorte, Black Forest Cherry Torte
(torte is the German word for cake).The earliest version of the recipe possibly dates back to the late
16th century when chocolate was first integrated into cakes and cookies (and was extremely
expensive). The first “Black Forest Cake” was probably not a conventional cake but a dessert
comprising cooked cherries, cream, Kirsch and a biscuit—similar to the original berry shortcake.
