Question: is puff pastry and phyllo dough the same?
Answer: Both phyllo dough and puff pastry are unleavened. However, puff pastry's lamination allows it to rise in the oven. Phyllo dough is made by rolling and stretching the dough into a paper-thin sheet; puff pastry is made by folding and re-folding dough and butter together until they become cohesive.
