Organic Puff Pastry
Easy to make organic puff pastry. Wonderfully flaky and buttery layered pastry that is quick to make. You'll never again be buying puff pastry from the supermarket. It will be a family favorite 100%.
Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 14 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ cup very cold water
- 1 egg optional
Instructions
- Add flour and salt to the food processor, then add 3/4 cup (170 grams) of cold butter cut into cubes, and pulse until butter is absorbed. (You can do it with your hands too).
- Add the cold water and pulse until the butter is crumbled into pea-size bits.
- Add the optional egg, and continue to combine the ingredients into a dough.
- On a floured surface place the dough and knead until the dough comes together to form a ball.
- Roll into a rectangle, then fold the dough in half and then half again and one last time, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 24 hours.
Notes
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can use a pastry cutter to work in the butter or manual with your hand.
