Viennoiseries (French: [vjɛnwazʁi]; English: "things in the style of Vienna") is the name given by professional chefs to describe yeast-leavened dough products that are at a meeting point between bread and pastry,[1] which was described by the Dictionnaire Petit Robert as neither a pastry nor a bread.[2] The dough is sweetened with sugar and enriched with either butter, eggs, milk or a combination of the three. There are two classes of Viennoiserie; non-laminated dough products include brioche, pandoro, and gibassier, while laminated dough products include croissant and Danish pastry.[1][3] Viennoiseries are typically eaten at breakfast or as snacks.[4]
