In 1839, the Parisian press began to mention a new \"Viennese Bakery\" and its \"exquisite and crisp rolls\". Zang, its founder, had been an artillery officer and would become a press magnate. In his short time in Paris, he not only introduced the \"kipfel\" - the Austrian crescent roll - but techniques which would later make the baguette possible. This is a brief look at his bakery and its influence on French baking and at his later career as \"the father of the Austrian daily press\". This second edition includes a look at the rue de Richelieu and changes in Paris shops.","brand":"CREATESPACE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47436593955042,"sku":"MTO-Books-2026-02-10-Createspace-17-8.9925","price":30.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/9898\/5881\/files\/book_17_zzdGjYogG.jpg?v=1770926154","url":"https:\/\/layitflat.com\/en-ca\/products\/august-zang-and-the-french-croissant-2nd-edition-how-viennoiserie-came-to-france","provider":"Lay it Flat Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
