PUFF PASTRY, CROISSANTS, AND DANISH
Laminated Dough
Laminated dough is made by folding and rolling fat and dough, creating hundreds of
alternating layers of dough and butter.
Laminated Dough
• Laminated dough is baked at a very high heat.
• Because of this high heat, butter and moisture in the dough creates steam.
• This steam gets trapped in the layers of dough, creating crispy, crunchy, buttery layers.

Croissants
• Croissants use a dough that contains yeast, a living organism that is also used to make breads rise.
• This yeast gives croissants their fluffy and lofty appearance.
Danish
• A Danish is a breakfast pastry that uses a laminated dough nearly identical to a croissant dough.
• Much like the croissant, this dough contains yeast and are laminated to create flakey layers.
• The Danish dough contains eggs, and the croissant dough does not.
Puff Pastry
• Puff pastry is used to make several types of desserts and savory dishes.
• It is laminated, like a croissant or Danish, but it does NOT contain any yeast.
