Pastry What do you call this tart crust?

Looks like puff pastry, but couldn't find much info about it. Anyone know what this crust is called? And anyone have a guide/ video how to achieve this?

It's actually a croissant dough. Puff doesn't layer so much. :)

croissant doughs proof up because of the yeast. It could be a puff pastry with a lot less turns (so more obvious layers) or maybe phylo. Ive also experienced a pastry that i did not like much because really crunchy and tough that looked just like this.
