About Pastry

Pastry is a broad class of baked or bake-ready dough products, commonly made with flour and fat, though recipes and ingredients vary. The catalogue name does not specify a particular dough, filling, shape, or whether the item is raw or baked. Pastries can be flaky, crisp, tender, or crumbly depending on their formulation and preparation.

It is encountered as a baked food, a component of savoury or sweet dishes, or a prepared dough used in cooking. Fillings and added ingredients are not implied by the general term; the exact product should be identified from its own label.
