DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PASTRY 1. Cream Puffs
A light pastry that is filled with whipped cream or
sweetened cream filling and often topped with chocolate. 2. Puff Pastry
Puff Pastry is a rolled – in dough. It is made with
layers upon layers that expand as the pastry bakes. It is an extremely light, puffy, flaky pastry. 3. Danish Pastry
A pastry made from sweetened yeast dough with
toppings like fruit, nuts or cheese. 4. French Pastry
A rich pastry filled with custard or
fruit. 5. Pie and Tart
Pastries consist of two component: the first,
relatively thin pastry (pie) dough, when baked forms a crust (also called pastry shells) that holds the second, the filling. 6. Croissants
A flaky raised dough. It is sort of a sweetened cross
between a simple yeast-raised dough and puff pastry. The dough is rolled with butter to make layers and is then left to rise, creating a really light texture. The downside is that it’s technically involved and requires an excellent deal of work.
