How to make puff pastry
First, you need to sift the flour, and then combine it with salt and sugar.
The butter must be cold.
It must be grated on a coarse grater and then mixed with dry ingredients.
Then you can pour out cold water.
It is better to add only part of the prepared liquid at first.
The dough needs to be kneaded, but at the same time the remaining water should be added gradually.
The resulting mass must be wrapped in cling film and placed in the refrigerator for an hour.
Then the dough needs to be rolled out and then folded in three.
The flour semi-finished product must be carefully wrapped in film and placed in the refrigerator for an hour.
After this time, the preparation must be sprinkled with pieces of butter and turned into an “envelope”.
Then the dough needs to be put back into the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes.
Chefs note that truly excellent dough will be obtained if the procedure, which includes rolling out, treating with oil, folding and cooling, is repeated three more times.
