Morphology
The noun is a straightforward compositional compound: 'pastry' (dough/crust) + 'board' (flat wooden surface) directly yields a board used for working pastry. This is a common, predictable formation in English and in many other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
The phrase pastry board comes from the simple image of bakers using a large flat wooden board to roll out and knead pastry. So, it means 'a flat board for making pastry'.
