Choux pastry and flaky pastry are cooked at high temperatures to achieve the desired texture and rise. In choux pastry, the steam generated from the high heat causes the dough to puff up, creating hollow centers ideal for filling. For flaky pastry, the high temperature helps to quickly evaporate moisture, causing the layers of fat and dough to separate and create a light, crispy texture. This rapid cooking also enhances browning and flavor development.
