What is the name of the Austrian dessert made with laminated dough (adding layers of butter and repeatedly folding and chilling the dough) and fruit fillings?
Danish pastry (aka a Danish!): During the 1850’s Danish bakers went on strike and the bakery owners were left scrambling to satisfy their customers. Their solution was to recruit bakers from Austria who brought with them a new technique of pastry making...called the Viennese lamination, and the resulting pastry was called wienerbrød (Vienna bread) as a nod to its origin. The resulting flaky pastries were an instant success, and have since become popular in the US." (https://humcookbook.byu.edu/danish-pastry-weinerbrod-story)
