Viennoserie refers to breakfast pastries made in the style of Vienna, Austria. Although they did not originate in France, viennoiseries rose to prominence after an Austrian military official, August Zang opened a bakery Boulangerie Viennoise in Paris, bringing new ideas to French pastry circles. Viennoiserie are typically made with white flour and active yeast cultures, which cause the dough to rise quickly and achieve the perfect flakiness.
