How to Make French's Bakery Wagon Wheel Cream Cheese Filling

This is a list of pastries, which are small buns made using a stiff dough enriched with fat. Some dishes, such as pies, are made of a pastry casing that covers or completely contains a filling of various sweet or savory ingredients.

There are five basic types of pastry (a food that combines flour and fat); these are shortcrust pastry, filo pastry, choux pastry, flaky pastry and puff pastry. Two main types of pastry are nonlaminated, when fat is cut or rubbed into the flour, and laminated, when fat is repeatedly folded into the dough using a technique called lamination. An example of a nonlaminated pastry would be a pie or tart crust and brioche. An example of a laminated pastry would be a croissant, danish, or puff pastry. Many pastries are prepared using shortening, a fat food product that is solid at room temperature, the composition of which lends to creating crumbly, shortcrust-style pastries and pastry crusts.

Pastries were first created by the ancient Egyptians. The classical period of ancient Greece and Rome had pastries made with almonds, flour, honey and seeds. The introduction of sugar into European cookery resulted in a large variety of new pastry recipes in France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.[ citation needed ] The greatest innovator was Marie-Antoine Carême who perfected puff pastry and developed elaborate designs of pâtisserie.[1]

The yeast dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times in succession, then rolled into a sheet, a technique called laminating. Croissants have long been a staple of French bakeries and pâtisseries. The Kipferl – ancestor of the croissant – has been documented in Austria going back at least as far as the 13th century, in various shapes.[24] The Kipferl can be made plain or with nut or other fillings (some consider the rugelach a form of Kipferl). The "birth" of the croissant itself – that is, its adaptation from the plainer form of Kipferl, before its subsequent evolution (to a puff pastry) – can be dated with some precision to at latest 1839 (some say 1838), when an Austrian artillery officer, August Zang, founded a Viennese Bakery ("Boulangerie Viennoise") at 92, rue de Richelieu in Paris.[25] This bakery, which served Viennese specialities including the Kipferl and the Vienna loaf, quickly became popular and inspired French imitators (and the concept, if not the term, viennoiserie, a 20th-century term for supposedly Vienna-style pastries). The French version of the Kipferl was named for its crescent (croissant) shape. Croline A flaky (typically puff) pastry filled with various (traditionally) salty or spicy fillings.

Dabby-Doughs Cinnamon snails.jpg Traditionally made using the remnants of the dough leftovers from making the pie, they can also be prepared in large amounts by simply making a batch of pastry dough.

Once cool, the pastry then is filled with a coffee- or chocolate-flavoured[30] pastry cream (crème pâtissière), custard, whipped cream, or chiboust cream; and iced with fondant icing.[30] The éclair probably originated in France during the nineteenth century. Empanada Empanadas argentinas 2017.jpg Spain A stuffed bread or pastry baked or fried in many countries in Western Europe, Latin America, and parts of Southeast Asia. The name comes from the Spanish verb empanar, meaning to wrap or coat in bread. Empanada is made by folding a dough or bread patty around the stuffing. The stuffing usually consists of a variety of meat, cheese, huitlacoche, vegetables or fruits, among others. Empanadas trace their origins to Galicia and Portugal.[31] [32] [33] They first appeared in mediaeval Iberia during the time of the Moorish invasions. A cookbook published in Catalan in 1520, the Libre del Coch by Ruperto de Nola, mentions empanadas filled with seafood among its recipes of Catalan, Italian, French, and Arabian food.[34] [35] In turn, it is believed that empanadas and the similar calzones are both derived from the Indian meat-filled pies, samosas.[36] Ensaïmada Ensaïmades individuals.jpg Balearic Islands A common cuisine eaten in most former Spanish territories in Latin America and the Philippines, prepared using strong (high protein) flour, water, sugar, eggs, mother dough and a kind of reduced pork lard named saïm.

Hot water crust is traditionally used for making hand-raised pies. The pastry is made by heating water, melting the fat in this, bringing to the boil, and finally mixing with the flour. When baked, the crust acquires a rich, shiny, golden-brown exterior, which is fairly crisp and water-resistant.
