laminated dough

Butter-layered baked sheets

Laminated dough is pastry dough with butter folded into it in many alternating layers, creating flaky, airy texture when baked.

The technique involves repeated rolling and folding to multiply the layers—croissants, puff pastry, and Danish pastries all use laminated dough.

Laminating dough takes patience but the results are worth it.
