What is Viennoiserie?

Viennoiserie, which translates from French as “things from Vienna,” is a category of baked goods that are made using techniques similar to bread but that are enriched with ingredients like butter, eggs, milk, and sugar, giving them a texture between bread and pastry. These items are often laminated—layered with butter—or leavened with yeast, resulting in a rich, flaky, and slightly sweet product.” (Auguste Escoffier, School of Culinary Arts)
