Is Bread A Pastry?
(What’s the
Difference?)
Bread and pastries may seem similar, but they each have
their distinct personalities in the world of baking. Bread
is typically made from flour, water, yeast, and salt, often
showcasing a straightforward composition aimed at
nourishment. Pastries, on the other hand, introduce
butter and sometimes eggs to create layers and a delicate
texture, elevating them to delightful indulgences.
Choux pastry, is a delicate pastry dough used in many pastries.
Basic ingredients usually only include butter, water, flour and eggs.
Instead of a raising agent, choux pastry employs its high moisture
content to create steam, as the water in the dough evaporates
when baked, puffing the pastry.

sheep, and other animals, used to make foods including
puddings, pastry, and mincemeat.

Croissants
• Croissants are a classic French pastry, rolled and shaped into a crescent.
• They’re light, airy, and buttery, with a hint of sweetness and a little bit of
a yeasty, stretchy texture.
• They come in different flavors like chocolate croissants almond, and
more!
• Croissants fall into that category of “laminated pastry.” This means the
dough gets folded repeatedly, with cold butter between each tissue-thin
layer. The butter creates steam when baked in the oven.
