Recipe here: http://www.joyofbaking.com/ParisBrest.html Stephanie Jaworski of Joyofbaking.com demonstrates how to make Paris-Brest.
Besides the Tour de France, every four years France holds a 1200 kilometer bicycle race that goes from Paris to Brest and back to Paris. This race began in 1891 and it’s the oldest cycling event still being run. The story goes that the same year that this race started, a pastry chef along the bicycle route decided to make a celebration cake called Paris-Brest (pronounced pah-ree-brehst), to honor the race. It was made with a round of choux pastry (meant to resemble a bicycle wheel) that was sprinkled with almonds, and filled with a praline flavored cream.
