Viennoiseries (; English: "things in the style of Vienna") are yeast-leavened dough products that are at a meeting point between bread and pastry, which was described by the Dictionnaire Petit Robert as neither a pastry nor a bread. The dough is sweetened with sugar and enriched with 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. Viennoiseries are typically eaten at breakfast or as snacks.
