Homemade Puff Pastry

ADVERTISEMENT

Use the puff pastry right away or store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.

You can also freeze the dough for up to a month—just thaw in the fridge before use.

Variations:

Add a little grated cheese to the dough for a cheesy puff pastry.

Brush the dough with melted butter before folding to add extra flakiness.

FAQ:

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but bread flour gives a slightly better texture for puff pastry.

How do I know when the dough is ready for folding?
The dough should be smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky but not sticky. If it’s too sticky, add a bit more flour.
