  • When bakers Erwan Blanche and Sébastien Bruno graduated culinary school, they couldn’t seem to find a spot in Paris that sold bread, brioche, and pastries in the same place, let alone ones that were homemade, good quality, and affordably priced. That’s when they opened Boulangerie Utopie Bakery, known for one of the most coveted and innovative sourdough croissants in Paris.

    DISCLAIMER FOR ANGLOPHONES:
    - it's pronounced "krwas-son" (the T is silent)
    - it's not a pastry (pâtisserie), it's a viennoiserie
    - croissant means crescent (hence the shape)
    - what you call a "chocolate croissant" is NOT a croissant, it's a pain au chocolat

    The ottoman sultan ordered all chefs to come up with the nicest, fluffyest, lightest bread, and it had to be shaped like a moon (crescent~croissant)
    Thats how it was invented. The Turks dont get enough credit for it.
    There is even losers saying that someone else invented it. Hatin ah mfers
