The Global Story of the Danish Pastry
丹麥麵包不是來自丹麥？
Among the world’s favorite breakfast foods is the Danish, a sweet pastry with a variety of flavors. But did you know that, despite its name, it wasn’t actually invented by Danish bakers? So, who first came up with this treat?
The Danish Bakers’ Union credits Claudius Gele, a young baker from seventeenth-century France, as the man who made the first-ever Danish. In a happy accident, Gele forgot to add butter to his dough and tried to fold it in later to cover up his mistake. After baking the dough, he was surprised to find that it tasted quite delicious. Years later, Gele set up his own cafés in Paris and Florence, where he served this unique pastry to hungry customers. Soon, his recipe spread from Florence to the city of Vienna. 
Austrian bakers then took this recipe to Denmark when, in 1850, many moved there to temporarily replace striking Danish bakers. Gele’s pastry became very popular, and when the strike ended, the Danes learned how to make it themselves. After they changed the recipe by adding more fat and eggs, the Danish we know today was born.
丹麥麵包是世界上最受歡迎的早餐食物之一，是一種具有各種口味的甜糕點。但你知道儘管名字是這樣，它實際上並不是由丹麥麵包師傅發明的嗎？那麼，這種美味的點心是由誰先想出來的呢？
丹麥烘焙師聯盟認為製作出史上第一個丹麥麵包的人是十七世紀的法國年輕麵包師傅克勞迪斯．格勒。在一次幸運的意外中，格勒忘了將奶油加入麵團中，而之後試圖將它拌入以掩蓋他的錯誤。在烤過麵團後，他驚訝地發現味道相當美味。幾年後，格勒在巴黎和佛羅倫斯開設了自己的咖啡簡餐館，他在那裡為飢餓的顧客提供這種獨特的糕點。很快地，他的食譜就從佛羅倫斯傳到了維也納這個城市。
隨後，奧地利麵包師傅將這個食譜帶到了丹麥，許多奧地利麵包師傅在一八五○年搬到那裡，以暫時取代罷工的丹麥麵包師傅。格勒的糕點變得非常受歡迎，罷工結束後，丹麥人學會了如何自己製作。他們改變了食譜、增加了更多的脂肪和雞蛋後，我們今天所熟知的丹麥麵包就誕生了。

If the pastry was first invented in France, then why did it become known as a Danish? It is likely due to the large number of bakers from Denmark who moved to the United States and other parts of Europe in the early twentieth century. Though the breakfast item was always made with the same core ingredients, it was modified as it moved to new places.
In Denmark itself, Danishes are often filled with cream, fruit, jam, or nuts. Meanwhile, in the United States, they’re most commonly made with fruit or cream cheese in the middle. People in the United Kingdom, on the other hand, prefer ones with maple pecans, cinnamon, and vanilla cream.
Although different countries already have their own favorite versions, the Danish’s evolution is far from over. In recent years, smaller sizes have become available, which makes them the perfect snack to satisfy your sweet tooth throughout the day. Some bakers are rolling out more unusual flavors like coffee, mango, and passion fruit. Whatever happens to the Danish in the future, one thing seems certain: they will remain one of the world’s most popular breakfast foods.
如果這種糕點最早是法國發明的，那它為什麼會被稱為丹麥麵包呢？這很可能是因為二十世紀初期有大量丹麥麵包師傅移居到美國和歐洲其他地方。儘管這個早餐品項始終採用相同的主要成分製成，但隨著遷移到新的地方，它也進行了修改。
在丹麥本土，丹麥麵包通常包著奶油、水果、果醬或堅果。同時，在美國，它們最常見的做法是中間加了水果或奶油乳酪。另一方面，英國人更喜歡含有楓糖胡桃、肉桂和香草奶油的丹麥麵包。
儘管不同國家已有各自喜愛的版本，但丹麥麵包的發展尚未結束。近年來，出現了較小的尺寸，使其成為能全天候滿足你對甜食需求的完美零食。有些麵包師傅推出了較不常見的口味，像是咖啡、芒果和百香果。無論未來丹麥麵包會怎麼樣，有一件事似乎是確定的：它們仍然會是世界上最受歡迎的早餐食品之一。
