Morphology
The meaning 'a pastry that has been recently baked and is not stale' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fresh' (recently produced, unspoiled) modifying 'pastry' (a baked good). This adjective+noun combination is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward English composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun fresh pastry paints a simple picture: warm pastries just out of the oven, still soft and smelling good. Because fresh means 'newly made' and the pastry is not 'stale', the phrase means a pastry that was recently baked and ready to eat.
