List of Laminated Pastries and Puff Pastries with Recipe Card

Laminated dough is a culinary preparation consisting of many thin layers of dough separated by butter, produced by repeated folding and rolling. Such types of dough are referred to as the pastry of a thousand leaves and they are also called puff pastry.

Laminated pastries and puff pastries are both delicious baked goods that are made by layering dough and butter. However, there are some key differences between the two types of pastries.

Puff pastry is made by layering butter and dough, then folding and rolling the dough several times to create multiple layers. This process creates a light and flaky texture, and the pastry puffs up as it bakes. Puff pastry is perfect for creating delicate desserts like napoleons, palmiers, and turnovers.

Laminated pastries, on the other hand, are made by layering dough and butter, then folding and rolling the dough several times to create a laminated texture. This process creates a denser and more substantial texture than puff pastry, and it is perfect for savory pastries like croissants, danishes, and breakfast pastries.

And its rich and crisp layers are light enough to be airborne and it’s a flaky miracle of levitation. The rising of puff pastry is truly a magical performance that requires several steps. During baking, water in the butter vaporizes and expands, causing the dough to puff up and separate, while the lipids in the butter essentially fry the dough, resulting in a light, flaky product.
