Puff pastry
Puff pastry is a laminated dough baked into flaky pastries, pies, and savory turnovers.
About Puff pastry
Puff pastry is a laminated dough made by enclosing a layer of fat in dough and repeatedly rolling and folding it. It is used for sweet pastries, fruit turnovers, tarts, mille-feuille, savory pies, vol-au-vents, and other baked items.
Its flavour is relatively mild, buttery or wheaty, while its baked structure is light, crisp, and flaky. During baking, water-driven steam separates the layers, and handling, thickness, and baking conditions determine how distinct and expanded those layers become.
Puff pastry is sold as chilled or frozen sheets, blocks, shells, and prepared shapes. Rolling, folding, shaping, filling, and baking change its appearance and texture, producing expanded layers and a golden surface when baked.

Reference values for the specific food form shown. Other varieties, brands and preparations can differ.
Portions & preparation
Match the reference to the actual puff-pastry dough, including whether it uses butter, shortening, or another fat and whether it is sweetened. Baked weight, filled versus unfilled form, and discarded trim affect the edible portion and recipe context.
Compare the right form: Use a reference for baked puff pastry made with the specified fat, matching filled or unfilled dough and the edible baked portion.
Diet considerations
Puff pastry is a processed cereal-based dough, usually containing wheat flour and a layered fat, but exact formulas vary. Compatibility changes with butter, shortening, egg wash, dairy, savory fillings, sweet fillings, and coatings. Its carbohydrate pattern is portion-dependent and differs between plain pastry and completed turnovers or pies.
