Puff pastry

Puff pastry is a light, flaky, and buttery dough made by layering butter and dough through a process called lamination. When baked, the water in the butter and dough turns to steam, causing the layers to puff and separate. This pastry is versatile, used in both sweet and savory dishes like tarts, pies, and pastries. It requires careful handling to maintain the layers and often takes time to prepare. Its delicate texture and rich flavor make it a favorite in baking and patisserie.
