An ingredient is any item used to make a dish or recipe.
Since you were just talking about puff pastry, here are its main ingredients:
🥐 Ingredients of puff pastry
- Flour (all-purpose flour)
- Butter (lots of cold butter)
- Water
- Salt
🧠 What each ingredient does
- Flour → forms the dough structure
- Butter → creates flaky layers when it melts in the oven
- Water → binds everything together
- Salt → improves taste
🔥 Key idea
The magic of puff pastry comes from layers of butter + dough folded many times, which puff up when baked.
