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.
