The Best Puff Pastry

[allisonphuise1996]

I thought it must have high gluten in it?;0

[nitsrah]

thanks for sharing and you make me laugh

[Ramzyadel]

I Like It Realy Its So easy ... Thanksssss

You only need to let it rest about 10-15 minutes. It allows the gluten in the dough to relax so it's easier to stretch and fold over all that butter.

for how long does it have to rest before adding the butter?

[BirdOfParadise777]

So... 2 folds X 3, including right before you use it? tnx

[asmahjuri]

ermm after you have done with the folding the second time you have put it in the fridge can you leave it again in the fridge to use it afterward~?? or you have to use it straight away after you have fold it the last time??

[lonniestinson]

@asmahjuri I would make sure and use it the same day. Baking is all chemistry and you don't want the chemistry to change too much before you want to use it. I would put it under a damp tea towel in the fridge until you're ready to use it. - Brandi

@lonniestinson thankss

How far ahead can the dough be made before you use it?

[lonniestinson]

@Reddsmorris1 I think you could do the dough base WITHOUT the butter and keep it for a day or so, but I wouldn't push it. This dough is kind of picky and should be made and used sooner rather than later. But, if you make the dough, keep it wrapped in plastic wrap in the fridge and use it within three days.

Zhaquiri, you should be able to use the puff pastry for anything you want! Keep in mind, it really does PUFF up. You can fill them and freeze them for later use. If you're going to do a turn-over, make sure you cook your filling first, or your apples may still be too firm.

Dorian2XX, sticks of butter come in 1/2 cups. That converts to about 113.4 grams.

[foreigntreaties]

Reddsmorris1, the way I look at it, if you're not a little zingy and silly in the kitchen, the food just doesn't have the love! I'm glad you liked the video.

[Reddsmorris1]

Even though your zingy and silly I found the video very good, better then others I was looking for to make this dough. Thank you. :)

[lonestar3164]

what if you aren't frustrated, do you still need to pound the butter?

[brighteststar101]

Is it okay to use whole wheat pastry flour??

[Dorian2XX]

how much butter are sticks ??

because where I live we dont work with sticks only grams and ounces

thx i will be waiting for your reply

[Reddsmorris1]

@Dorian2XX 4 ozs or 113 G

[geston88]

looks easy but when I started rolling the pastry broke exposing the butter- what did I do wrong?

[Zhaquiri]

Thanks for this recipe! Simple, easy to follow, and not unnecessarily complicated. Can this be used to make (1) pizza pockets? How about (2) McDonald's-style apple pies? If I can use this for pizza pockets, (3) can I fill them, close them up, freeze them (uncooked), and only take/bake the number of pockets I want? How long do you think they'll keep?

I'm planning on making a batch of pizza pockets and keep them in the freezer, ready-to-bake. For quick, freshly-baked snacks and stuff.

jaqsro, if you can't find pastry flour, just do 2/3 all purpose flour and 1/3 part cake flour. If you can't find cake flour, just use a good quality all purpose flour. Let me know how it works out for you! - Brandi

[asmahjuri]

@foreigntreaties so just you use that for every one cup?

[jaqsro]
