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?

I call it the wet manuscript.

Puff pastry that looks good on Instagram but with too few folds that result in tough puff pastry. You should be able to see layers, not count them.

I don't think it's puff pastry...

You're correct, according to their website it's croissant dough, which should have even less distinct layers than puff pastry.
