🇰🇷 Korean baked goods – what makes them so special?
Korean baked goods differ significantly from Western bakeries:
They are usually lighter , less sweet , and use unusual fillings such as:
-
Red bean paste (Pat)
-

Spicy elements such as cheese, corn or even sausage in soft dough rolls
So-called "fusion pastries" are often found, combining French patisserie with Korean flavors. This makes the products exciting and accessible to European palates.
