Food & Drink / bakery
German term or phrase: Laminierteig
Advertising material about a large-scale Austrian bakery. They have 7 production lines - "3 Hefeteiglinien, 1 Toastlinie sowie 3 Laminierteiglinien".

The only other relevant context I have is that they are planning a new line for "laminierte Feingebäcke"

Flaky pastry
Explanation:
I think this is what they mean; pastry which you butter and fold over, roll out and repeat the process ad (in)finitum, and then egt a "flaky" pastry, rather than a solid pastry. Very popular particularly for Danish pastries.

The technical term appears to be "laminated dough/ laminated pastry". I stumbled across lots of native UK/ US references as I was researching to choose between flaky and puff/ filo pastry. Seems to be the umbrella term for lots of layered types of pastry. Gave David the points as he was the first to head me in the right direction. Thanks everyone!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jeremy Amos: Is there a difference? ;-) Would have thought this more "proper" term more appropriate in the context.

agree  Trudy Peters: puff pastry. Filo does not come "laminiert," you're the one who puts the layers together
