Puff Pastry

5h

A simple way to make puff pastry. The most important part is to make sure all the ingredients are well chilled so that the butter does not melt when it starts to be handled. You can freeze the dough if you want to, just place it in an air tight container after the fourth fold and keep it in the freezer for up to a month.

You can use the Puff Pastry on Vegetable & Ricotta Gallete, found here at CREME.

I never ate as much puff pastry as when I lived in Spain and Denmark. All bakeries were my passion! The inspiration here was to find my way, with little equipment, to make a delicious puff pastry that worked well and brought me back to that feeling. This puff pastry is for layer lovers like me. It's perfect as therapy on a rainy day, to put creativity to the test — it works for sweet and savory recipes, with any type of filling — and it's super possible to make at home. I love several versions of it, such as with almond and pear cream, banana and caramel cream, avocados with labneh and pickled onions, creamy scrambled eggs... but one of my favorites is smoked eggplant with marinated zucchinis, chunky ricotta, and herbs.
