Danish pastry

Danish pastry is a sweet pastry which has become a specialty of Denmark and the neighbouring Scandinavian countries and is popular throughout the industrialized world, although the form it takes can differ significantly from country to country. They are referred to as facturas in some Spanish speaking countries.
Danish pastry is, like the croissant, said to originate from Vienna and is called wienerbrød (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʋiːˀnɔˌbʁœːˀð], lit. "Viennese bread" (corresponding to the French Viennoiserie) in Denmark as well as Finland, Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Norway and Sweden. In Vienna, however, the pastry is known as "Golatschen", and its origin may well be the Turkish baklava[1] like the Strudel. Both the croissant and Danish are laminated doughs, and as such are categorized as Viennoiserie products.
