Korean baked goods consist of Korean-style bread,buns,pastries,cakes,and snacks. Korean bread did not enter Korean diets or become a mainstream staple until the late 1980s. To a large extent,bread was not part of Korean cuisine,other than some types of traditional steamed bread that were made of mixed rice flour and wheat. Korean breads were first introduced to the mainstream market in the 1980s with the establishment of the bakery chain Paris Baguette. The items that were introduced to the Korean market aimed to introduce a French-inspired type of bread that would simultaneously satisfy a Korean taste palette. Hence,the type of bread and buns that were created were a fusion of Western technique and Korean flavours. Western fused breads are a growing phenomenon across Asia and as new Asian bakery chains grew in their home countries,they have simultaneously entered international markets.
