layered pastry
Butter-folded baked good
Layered pastry is dough made by repeatedly folding butter into flour, creating thin alternating sheets that puff and separate when baked.
Puff pastry, croissants, and Danish are all layered pastries.
The French technique is called lamination: The chef demonstrated how to laminate the dough for layered pastry.
