The French word [[pâtisserie]] is also used in English (with or without the accent) for many of the same foods, as well as the set of techniques used to make them. Originally, the French word {{lang|fr|pastisserie|italic=yes}} referred to anything, such as a meat pie, made in dough (''paste'', later ''pâte'') and not typically a luxurious or sweet product.<ref>Jim Chevallier, A History of the Food of Paris: From Roast Mammoth to Steak Frites, 2018, {{ISBN|1442272821}}, p. 73, 102</ref> This meaning still persisted in the nineteenth century, though by then the term more often referred to the sweet and often ornate confections implied today.

==History==
[[File:Baklava(1).png|thumb|right|A typical Mediterranean [[baklava]], a phyllo dough pastry sweetened with nuts and honey]]
[[File:Piroshki.JPG|thumb|Russian [[pirozhki]]]]

The European tradition of pastry-making is often traced back to the shortcrust era of flaky doughs that were in use throughout the Mediterranean in ancient times. In the ancient Mediterranean, the Romans, Greeks, and Phoenicians all had filo-style pastries in their culinary traditions. 
In the plays of [[Aristophanes]], written in the 5th century BC, there is mention of sweetmeats, including small pastries filled with fruit. [[Ancient Roman cuisine|Roman cuisine]] used flour, oil, and water to make pastries that were used to cover meats and [[fowl]]s during baking in order to keep in the juices, but the pastry was not meant to be eaten. A pastry that was meant to be eaten was a richer pastry that was made into small pastries containing eggs or little birds and that were often served at banquets. Greeks and Romans both struggled in making a good pastry because they used oil in the cooking process, and oil causes the pastry to lose its stiffness.<ref>[http://www.pfisterconsulting.com/history.htm History of Baking and Pastry Cooking<!-- Bot generated title -->]  {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130113214001/http://www.pfisterconsulting.com/history.htm|date=2013-01-13}}</ref>

In the [[medieval cuisine]] of [[Northern Europe]], pastry chefs were able to produce nice, stiff pastries because they cooked with shortening and butter. Some incomplete lists of ingredients have been found in medieval cookbooks, but no full, detailed versions. There were stiff, empty pastries called coffins or '[[huff paste]]', that were eaten by servants only and included an [[egg yolk]] glaze to help make them more enjoyable to consume. Medieval pastries also included small tarts to add richness.

It was not until about the mid-16th century that actual pastry recipes began appearing.<ref name="autogenerated1999" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=Bakeinfo |title=Types of Pastry- BakeInfo (Baking Industry Research Trust) |url=http://www.bakeinfo.co.nz/school/school_info/pastry.php |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101119202712/http://bakeinfo.co.nz/school/school_info/pastry.php |archive-date=2010-11-19 |access-date=2018-01-03 |website=www.bakeinfo.co.nz |language=en}}</ref> These recipes were adopted and adapted over time in various European countries, resulting in the myriad pastry traditions known to the region, from Portuguese "[[pastel de nata|pastéis de nata]]" in the west to Russian "[[pirozhki]]" in the east. The use of chocolate in pastry-making in the west, so commonplace today, arose only after Spanish and Portuguese traders brought chocolate to Europe from the New World starting in the 16th century. Many culinary historians consider French pastry chef [[Antonin Carême]] (1784–1833) to have been the first great master of pastry making in modern times.

Pastry-making has a strong tradition in many parts of Asia. [[Chinese pastry]] is made from rice, or different types of flour, with fruit, [[sweet bean paste]] or [[sesame]]-based fillings. The [[mooncakes]] are part of Chinese [[Mid Autumn Festival]] traditions, while [[cha siu bao]], steamed or baked pork buns, are a regular savory [[dim sum]] menu item. In the 19th century, the British brought western-style pastry to the [[Far East]], though it would be the French-influenced [[Maxim's Caterers Limited|Maxim]] in the 1950s that made western pastry popular in Chinese-speaking regions starting with [[Hong Kong]]. The term "western cake" (西餅) is used to refer to western pastry, otherwise Chinese pastry is assumed. Other Asian countries such as Korea prepare traditional pastry-confections such as [[tteok]], [[hangwa]], and [[yaksik]] with flour, rice, fruits, and regional specific ingredients to make unique desserts.  Japan also has specialized pastry-confections better known as [[mochi]] and [[manjū]]. Pastry-confections that originate in Asia are clearly distinct from those that originate in the west, which are generally much sweeter.

; [[Shortcrust pastry]] : Shortcrust pastry is the simplest and most common pastry. It is made with flour, fat, butter, salt, and water to bind the dough.<ref name="Kitchen2008">{{cite book|author=Leanne Kitchen|title=The Baker|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Cy0oh1iWhO4C&pg=PA171|access-date=29 October 2013|year=2008|publisher=Murdoch Books|isbn=978-1-74196-097-6|page=171}}</ref> ''Pâte brisée'' is the French version of classic pie or tart shortcrust pastry.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Pate Brisee (Pie Dough) Recipe|url=https://www.marthastewart.com/317858/pate-brisee-pie-dough|access-date=2021-12-28|website=Martha Stewart|language=en-us}}</ref> The process of making pastry includes mixing of the fat and flour, adding water, chilling and then rolling out the dough. Chilling before rolling is essential since it enables the fat (lard, butter, etc.) to harden again and thus create flaky layers in the dough. It also allows for even hydration and inhibits gluten formation. It results in a tender flaky pastry.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2006-06-19|title=Resting Pastry Dough|url=https://kitchensavvy.com/resting-pastry-dough|access-date=2021-12-28|website=KitchenSavvy|language=en-us}}</ref> The fat is mixed with the flour first, generally by rubbing with fingers or a [[pastry blender]], which inhibits [[gluten]] formation by coating the gluten strands in fat and results in a short (as in crumbly; hence the term shortcrust), tender pastry.<ref>{{cite book|title=The Art and Soul of Baking|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7O5YpNRnpNoC&pg=PA27|access-date=29 October 2013|date=21 October 2008|publisher=Andrews McMeel Publishing|isbn=978-0-7407-7334-1|page=207|chapter=Tarts}}</ref> A related type is the sweetened [[Shortcrust pastry#Sweet|sweetcrust pastry]], also known as ''pâte sucrée'', in which sugar and egg yolks have been added (rather than water) to bind the pastry.<ref>{{cite book|author=Peter Barham|title=The Science of Cooking|chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oGq4v4e7rG8C&pg=PA183|access-date=29 October 2013|year=2001|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-3-540-67466-5|page=183|chapter=Short crust variations}}</ref>
; [[Flaky pastry]]: Flaky pastry is a simple pastry that expands when cooked due to the number of layers. It bakes into a crisp, buttery pastry. The "puff" is obtained by the shard-like layers of fat, most often butter or shortening, creating layers which expand in the heat of the oven when baked.
; [[Puff pastry]] : Puff pastry has many layers that cause it to expand or "puff" when baked. Puff pastry is made using a [[laminated dough]] consisting of flour, butter, salt, and water. The pastry rises up due to the water and fats expanding as they turn into steam upon heating.<ref>{{cite book|author=Peter Barham|title=The Science of Cooking|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9783540674665|url-access=registration|year=2001|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-3-540-67466-5|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9783540674665/page/189 189]}}</ref> Puff pastry come out of the oven light, flaky, and tender.
; [[Choux pastry]] : Choux pastry is a very light pastry that is often filled with [[cream]]. Unlike other types of pastry, choux is in fact closer to a dough before being cooked which gives it the ability to be piped into various shapes such as the [[Éclair (pastry)|éclair]] and [[profiterole]]. Its name originates from the French ''choux'', meaning [[cabbage]], owing to its rough cabbage-like shape after cooking.<ref name="Suas2009">{{cite book|author=Michel Suas|title=Advanced Bread and Pastry, 1st ed.: A Professional Approach|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JM76vm5tH38C|access-date=29 October 2013|year=2009|publisher=Cengage Learning|isbn=978-1-4180-1169-7|page=504|chapter=Part 4: Pastry}}</ref>
: Choux begins as a mixture of milk or water and butter which are heated together until the butter melts, to which flour is added to form a dough. Eggs are then beaten into the dough to further enrich it.  This high percentage of water causes the pastry to expand into a light, hollow pastry. Initially, the water in the dough turns to steam in the oven and causes the pastry to rise; then the starch in the flour [[Starch gelatinization|gelatinizes]], thereby solidifying the pastry.<ref>{{cite book|title=Secrets of Eclairs|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=JTr7HrwcVDEC&pg=PT78|date=1 November 2012|publisher=Murdoch Books|isbn=978-1-74336-424-6|pages=78–}}</ref>  Once the choux dough has expanded, it is taken out of the oven; a hole is made in it to let out the steam. The pastry is then placed back in the oven to dry out and become crisp. The pastry is filled with various flavors of cream and is often topped with [[chocolate]]. Choux pastries can also be filled with ingredients such as cheese, tuna, or chicken to be used as appetizers.
; [[Phyllo]] (Filo): Phyllo is a paper-thin pastry dough that is used in many layers. The phyllo is generally wrapped around a filling and brushed with butter before baking. These pastries are very delicate and flaky.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.kswheat.com/upload/got-pastry.pdf|title=Grains of truth about pastry|date=2006-10-31|access-date=2017-12-18|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061031174304/http://www.kswheat.com/upload/got-pastry.pdf|archive-date=2006-10-31}}</ref>
; [[Hot water crust pastry]]: Hot water crust pastry is used for [[wikt:savory|savoury]] [[pie]]s, such as [[pork pie]]s, [[game pie]]s and, more rarely, [[steak and kidney pie]]s. Hot water crust is traditionally used for making hand-raised pies. The usual ingredients are hot water, [[lard]], and [[flour]]. The pastry is made by heating water into which the fat is then melted, before bringing to the boil, and finally mixing with the flour. It can be done by beating the flour into the mixture in the pan, or by [[kneading]] on a [[pastry board]]. Either way, the result is a hot and rather sticky paste that can be used for hand-raising: shaping by hand, sometimes using a dish or bowl as an inner mould. As the crust cools, its shape is largely retained, and it is filled and covered with a crust, ready for baking. Hand-raised hot water crust pastry does not produce a neat and uniform finish, as there will be sagging during the cooking of the filled pie, which is generally accepted as the mark of a hand-made pie.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2007/nov/24/foodanddrink.baking55|title=Hot water crust pastry|last=Dan Lepard|author-link=Dan Lepard|date=24 November 2007|work=The Guardian|publisher=Guardian News and Media|access-date=6 January 2015}}</ref>
; [[Suet|Suet Pastry]]: Is a traditional pastry in British cuisine used in both sweet and savoury dishes. Suet is the raw, hard [[fat]] of [[beef]], [[Lamb and mutton|lamb]] or [[mutton]] found around the [[loin]]s and [[kidney]]s. Its high [[smoke point]] makes it ideal for [[deep frying]] and [[pastry]] production.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QwjcDwAAQBAJ&dq=%22suet+pastry%22&pg=PA11|title=Hiw to make Pastry|date=2011|publisher=Hot Methods|isbn=9781647589578|page=11}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=Cassell's Dictionary of Cookery|date=1896|publisher=Cassell's|page=938}}</ref>

==Chemistry==
Different kinds of pastry doughs are made by utilizing the natural characteristics of wheat flour and certain fats. When wheat flour is mixed with water and kneaded into plain dough, it develops strands of gluten, which are what make bread tough and elastic. In a typical pastry, however, this toughness is unwanted, so fat or oil is added to slow down the development of gluten. Pastry flour can also be used, since it typically has a lower level of protein than all-purpose or bread flours.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/guide-to-numbers.html|title=Professional Baker's Reference: A Guide to the Numbers {{!}} King Arthur Flour|last=Inc.|first=King Arthur Flour Company|website=King Arthur Flour|language=en|access-date=2018-01-03|archive-date=2017-10-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171024095507/https://www.kingarthurflour.com/professional/guide-to-numbers.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

[[Lard]] or [[suet]] work well because they have a coarse, crystalline structure that is very effective. Using unclarified butter does not work well because of its water content; [[clarified butter]], or [[ghee]], which is virtually water-free, is better, but shortcrust pastry using only butter may develop an inferior texture. If the fat is melted with hot water or if liquid oil is used, the thin oily layer between the grains offers less of an obstacle to gluten formation and the resulting pastry is tougher.<ref name="autogenerated1999">Jaine, Tom, and Soun Vannithone. The Oxford Companion to Food. New York: Oxford UP, 1999</ref>

A good pastry is light and airy and fatty, but firm enough to support the weight of the filling. When making a [[shortcrust pastry]], care must be taken to blend the fat and flour thoroughly before adding any liquid---to ensure that the flour granules are adequately coated with fat and less likely to develop [[gluten]]. On the other hand, overmixing results in long gluten strands that toughen the pastry. In other types of pastry such as [[Danish pastry]] and [[croissant]]s, the characteristic flaky texture is achieved by repeatedly rolling out a dough similar to [[yeast]] bread dough, spreading it with butter, and folding it to produce many thin layers.

==Pastry chefs==
{{see also|List of pastry chefs}}
[[Pastry chef]]s use a combination of culinary ability and creativity for baking, decoration, and flavoring with ingredients. Many baked goods require a lot of time and focus. Presentation is an important aspect of pastry and dessert preparation. The job is often physically demanding, requiring attention to detail and long hours.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.allculinaryschools.com/faqs/baking|title=Pastry Chef {{!}} Read a Pastry Chef Job Description|work=All Culinary Schools|access-date=2018-01-03|language=en-US}}</ref> Pastry chefs are also responsible for creating new recipes to put on the menu, and they work in restaurants, bistros, large hotels, casinos and bakeries.  Pastry baking is usually done in an area slightly separate from the main kitchen. This section of the kitchen is in charge of making pastries, desserts, and other baked goods.<ref>[http://www.jobprofiles.org/retpastrychef.htm Pastry Chef Job Profile<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081229055707/http://www.jobprofiles.org/retpastrychef.htm |date=2008-12-29 }}</ref>
