The Danish pastry is said to originate from Vienna and in Denmark is called wienerbrød (Viennese bread), probably because it uses a certain kind of dough consisting of butter and flour in the classic cuisine referred to as "Viennese Dough". This pastry is called "Kolatsche" (from the Czech koláč from kolo for wheel) in Viennese.
