Hello. I’m Austrian. I approve of mango croissants. We have apricot ones, so why not this.

Absolutely! If you want an easy version that’s close to as good, you can cut store bought puff pastry into triangles, spread jam on them, then roll them into crescents and bake. It’s what I do since I’ve gone vegan, since they’re otherwise full of cow butter, and I recommend.
There’s plenty innovative croissant shops in paris too. Bet the threats they received were from “French” Americans.

Or no one at all.
classic viennoiserie
The origin sure, as much as bread’s origin is in wheat. Croissant as you know it is French, from Paris specifically. Not that I condone them having some kind of veto on how people get to use this invention now.

What you are talking about is kipferl which is definitely Austrian. But someone took that and made it into something new using yeast-leavened laminated dough, called it croissant, and where they did that was 100% in Paris, France. There is no doubt about it because it happened recently enough. They are absolutely not the same end product and I would be outraged if someone served me half-moon shaped bread roll, which is what the Austrian thing is, while trying to pass it off as a croissant.
Gotta admit I’m tempted by the fusion, and in the spirit of it, to steer the concept further away from a European style, I’d pair it with matcha ice cream.
But half of it is air?
Always has been.
Maybe it’s croissant flavored air?
Ooh I want to do a guava and cream cheese croissant now.
So many of these posts lend credence to the “Ugly American” claim that Euros make of us. Especially the OP that makes a claim yet provides no proof. And you all go along with it.
Why hate on the French? It’s a beautiful wonderful country full of great people, and we would not be The USA if they had not intervened a looong time ago. Seems we’ve forgotten this debt. Don’t come back at me about liberating France in WW2 because we were part of an overall allied force doing so; we were far, far from being the only ones.
I guess it’s all OK now to be rude to everyone. Expect the same treatment back atcha, and don’t scratch your skinheads wondering why.
Man some people on this site lmao. This is called sarcasm and it’s funny, they don’t actually hate the french.
As a Belgian I can proudly say:
Fuck the Fr*nch. Fuck their awful language. And fuck them thinking they can get through life knowing only one language and demanding people adapt to them.

God you’re an idiot, read the room
Glad you spit out your binky long enough to post. Thanx.
I’m not mad about the mango filling, but those croissants look really pale
Maybe the moisture of the mango strips kept it from browning properly.
Its so called bicolor croissant that you put tape of colored dough on top of regular dough before forming. Its often intentional to bake regular dough pale to show contrast between the colored dough.
Source: I searched recipe for cacao-colored bicolor croissant but never tried.
Informative comment, thanks!
the rise is good, though. i imagine they used something like rice flour
French people wouldn’t mind this and if some did they’d still rather swallow their tongues than admitting that you managed to make them angry.
Why would they croissants aren’t French they’re Austrian but popularized by an Austrian baker in France.
I’m French, this looks great. A true french reaction would be “uh ! I’ll try it”
Right?! We’ll be upset only if it tastes bad. Given by how pale they look I’m not confident it won’t.
Well, last time the French wanted to guillotine someone, they did.
There is not a single world where the people who sent death threats if they even exist are French. Variations of croissant are also common in France and the one shown above in the picture looks highly qualitative.
Trolls on the other end pretending to be French and outraged, now that seems more likely.
If the croissant variant just looks like shit French people will likely make fun of it. But death threats? Bullshit.
I mean, they could be French trolls, I’d wager that French trolls would be even more likely to do this.
As a french croissant maker, yours look amazing. You are definitely skilled and I would taste those enthousiastically
Man I love croissants, they must be one of my top 5 things to eat. Fresh ones don’t really need anything at all. They’re already buttery. These mango croissants look amazing.
They make a great side for almost anything too. With eggs? Hell yes. With a glass of wine? Duh. Add them to an Irish breakfast with black pudding? Totally works. Cold, on a chicken waldorf sandwich? Of course. With a dollop of ice cream or crème fraîche? If only I could be so lucky.
There’s really no wrong way to enjoy a croissant, unless you’re putting something totally inedible like drain cleaner with it. There are some foods I would never add, like spray cheese or olives, but that’s really just personal preference.
Slather the puff dough in sugar and cinnamon, roll them up, then squeeze them in the middle so that the filling partly oozes out so it can caramelise and crystalise. The best ones are flaky, soggy, and crispy, all in one. Think of it as a cross between a croissant and crème brûlée. Plus cinnamon.
Ugh that sounds incredible. I love cinnamon rolls in the first place, so with croissant pastry, hell yeah.
It’s the butter, butter I’d the secret ingredient LF french cuisine and baking. More butter, put all the butter !
My first time at a French restaurant, the waiter made a joke like that, but it was that everything is full of butter AND cream.
So it’s not just us Italians
These look amazing. Fuck the haters.
One day I’m going to cook something that gets me death threats and that’ll be a glorious day.
Me when a single grain of sugar falls into my pasta sauce.
I already did. My recipe for Puppy and Kitten Livers Flambe was not well received.

I feel like cat liver would be a bad idea. Carnivore livers in general seem like a bad idea.
