On a mission to learn why flaky pastries are the most sought-after treats worldwide, Baker Bryan Ford takes a deep dive into one-of-a-kind croissants, traditional Greek Spanakopita and his own Mardi Gras-inspired, Argentine Medialuna.

On this journey Bryan Ford explores the hand pie, from an all-American apple turnover with a salted-caramel twist to Jamaican patties with flavored crusts, before he helps some friends make Bolivian saltenas -- savory pies filled with hearty stew.
