The Danish

When you think of the Danish croissant dessert, you might think that it came from the Danes, but actually it has come from Austria, and over time it was developed by the Danish culture. There was a strike among bakers in the 1850s in Demark for more of the Austrian Danish dessert. It was a new item and it was not well known. Bakery’s had to hire foreign people to show the ways of making this dessert, and it was then evolved with more egg and fat, to make it more delicious than it already was. As time went on, and Danish people immigrated to America, and so the Danish dessert came with. That is how it came to be in the United States.

Today I decided to make an easy Danish Croissant that anyone would be able to make. I have made a Video to walk you through the process, and I hope you enjoy the recipe! 

Stop into Main Street Bakery today and try it today!

Apple Pie

Hello and happy march. Its been a while since I have made a post, and i have decided to to take things back to the history of America for the daily culture item. The first thing that came to mind with American culture and desserts was of course the apple pie.
Apple Pie was first brought to the American Colonies in the 17th and 18th century from the Dutch, Swedish, and British. In the new lands they had no fruit bearing trees, there was a gape when they had to wait for the Europeans apple tree varieties to start bearing fruit. The only apple they had access to were the crab apples which are small and sour. One way they would try and deal with the sour apples was to soak them in vinegar to balance the flavor out.
As the apple pie grew in awareness it also developed. The mock apple pie came to be known. It was thought to have been invented during the civil war when the southern states had a shortage of food. In 1930 Ritz crackers promoted the use of there crackers for the use of mock apple pie!
Many terms have been used regarding the apple pie over the years. It used to be called "evening meal of the children." One newspaper in 1902 declared the pie, "No pie-eating people can be permanently vanquished." That is saying a lot about the pie considering the time period! It is clear the apple pie will be around forever! Do you have any nicknames or stories about American Pies?
Anyways, today at Main Street Bakery, our daily culture item is a classic  American Apple Pie . This video is a brief Do-It-Yourself for beginner bakers. Stop in and try a piece today!
