To celebrate the victory and valuing his collaboration, King Leopold I decorated the Viennese bakers .The guild decided to make half-moon-shaped loaves (halbmond) as a mockery of the emblem of the Ottoman side.This type of bread, known as kifli or Kipferl , is made with thin sheets of dough made with flour, cut in the form of triangles and rolled up to get the shape of a crescent.the dough can be added milk, butter, etc.are painted with egg so that they are well browned and sprinkled with poppy or caraway seeds.They can be eaten alone or filled with both sweet and savory elements.Currently, both in Austria and in many Eastern European countries, it is common to find this type of pastry bun.
