Pastry is a broad category of baked food made from dough, often enriched with ingredients such as butter, sugar, or eggs. A croissant is one specific type of pastry, commonly made with laminated dough that creates its characteristic flaky layers.
Start with the name or features of a pastry, such as a tartâs sharp flavor, a turnoverâs hidden filling, or a croissantâs layers. Connect that detail to a familiar phrase, then make sure the wordplay sounds natural when read aloud.
