Where dous baguette come from?

Answer 1

The hoe cake got its' name from how it was made. When the Indians were working fields, they left home early in the morning and didn't return home until after dark. They would carry prepared dry mix and a pan to the fields and, at lunchtime, grab some water or milk (if available), and stir it into the mix. This would make the dough. Then they cleaned off any dirt with a cultivating hoe, which they then heated in a fire. The flattened dough was put onto the hot hoe, which was then held as near the fire as possible without burning and. The dough baked.

Thats how the cake got its' name!

Answer 2

Baguettes were first originated from Vienna but then France came up with there own type of baguette.

The most rigorous answer is that nobody knows for sure at this point, though they almost certainly did NOT originate in Vienna, even if they are made with Viennese methods (like a steam oven). The first baguettes are mentioned in the French press in 1920 - that is, just as wartime restrictions were ending - and is often associated with a law limiting bakers' hours from 1919. But the first mentions precede the application (in late 1920) of this law.

Answer 3

Though some experts claim that August Zang (the Austrian who brought the croissant to Paris) also brought the baguette, this is not supported by any period evidence. It is unlikely in fact that the baguette was invented at all. In 18th century France, the typical round loaf began to give way to longer loaves which, in the nineteenth century, were known as "flutes" (though several other very long loaves existed then as well). So an argument can be made that the baguette began (under another name) then. However, the word "baguette" (which means "wand") was not used for a bread until 1920. Some claim that this followed a law passed the year before forbidding the bakers to work through the night. However, the baguette is mentioned before that law took effect (in October 1920) and at any rate similar breads had already existed (and can be seen in photographs) well before that. Even today, the difference between a Flute and a baguette is very vague and varies by region.

Answer 4

Croissant is literally "crescent". The kipfel pastry was given that name because its shape was reminiscent of a crescent moon (or decrescent, for that matter).

Baguette, accordingly to etymonline.c om, was used to indicate a type of architectural ornament, with the word literally meaning "rod, wand, stick"(16th century), probably related to the Italian "bacchetta" (wand) & the Latin "baculum" (stick). The page further claims that the term was used from 1926 onwards for a type of gem cut, & for the shape of bread from 1958 onwards (albeit that makes me question if the shape of bread wasn't already in circulation & what it was called... maybe people in general specified "a stick of bread"? Perhaps that's what the page is trying to suggest?)

Answer 5

From its shape. Une baguette is a stick or rod.

Answer 6

"Bread" comes from the Germanic word "Brot".
