What is The layering of dough and fat?

The layering of dough and fat is like stacking cookies and cream cheese to make a super tasty sandwich.

Imagine you're making a pancake stack, but instead of just syrup, you're using fat, think butter or shortening. You take your dough, flatten it out like a pancake, then add a layer of fat on top, and press them together. Then you repeat this process, dough, fat, dough, fat, until you have many layers.

This is what happens when you're making something like pastry or croissants. Each time you fold the dough and fat together, it creates more layers. When you bake it, those layers become flaky and buttery, kind of like how your pancake stack becomes extra yummy with every layer of syrup.

• Dough is like the base of your sandwich.
• Fat is like the creamy filling that makes everything taste better.
• Every time you layer them, you're making the final result more delicious and flaky, just like stacking your favorite snacks!
