French families buyfresh bread from boulangeries, the French word for bakeries, every morning. That means a typical baking day usuallystarts at 4:00 am and ends at noon. You would also be surprised at the number of independent boulangeries in cities,towns, and small villages.Among the dozens of types of French bread, baguette and croissant are what Taiwanese people are most familiarwith. Baguette, literally meaning “a stick”, has golden-brown crust, with ivory-cream center, cereal aroma, and soft,chewy dough. In 1993, the French government enacted a law to protect the quality of “the pride of France.” The lawstates that a real baguette has to be made with wheat flour, water, salt, yeast, and nothing else. No additives orpreservatives are allowed, which means it goes stale within 24 hours. A standard baguette is 250-300 grams in weightand 55 to 65 centimeters in length. Legend has it that it was Napoleon who contributed to the shape of baguette. Heasked bakers to make a “stick-like” bread to make it easier for soldiers to carry their bread around down their pants.Warm and buttery, croissant is a common French breakfast food at the weekend. Typical ingredients includeflour, yeast, milk, butter, egg, and salt. An important process is that the butter has to be put between the layers ofdough but not to be incorporated into the dough. There are countless legends about the origin of this pastry. The mostwidespread one is associated with the Battle of Vienna. In 1683, Vienna was under siege by Turkish army. The Turkswere trying to dig underground tunnels. However, bakers working in the middle of the night heard the digging andalerted Austrian soldiers, who had enough time to stop the digging and defeat the Turks. To celebrate the victory,bakers in Vienna made a pastry in the shape of crescents, a thin, curved shape they saw on Turkish flags, and theycalled the pastry “Kipferl”, the German word for “crescent”. When Austrian princess Marie Antoinette came to Franceand married King Louis XVI in 1770, she introduced to this country her favorite pasty, which came to be known ascroissant in French.
