An easy recipe for homemade recipe for a rough puff pastry. Suitable for sweet or savory recipes!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup all-purpose flour, chilled
¼ tsp salt
½ cup (1 stick) butter, cold, in pieces
3 tbsp ice water
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix all-purpose flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the cold butter in pieces and mix on low speed, with the flat beater attached, until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water and mix at low speed until it comes together to a dough. DON’T KNEAD or overwork the dough!
Use your hands to form it into a square (or rectangle). Warp with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place the dough on a floured working surface and roll it into a long rectangle, using a rolling pin.
First, fold the upper third into the middle, then fold the lower third into the middle on top of the other so that you have three layers. Use your hand to stretch and form into a nice square.
Turn the dough 90° and repeat these steps three times until you have a smooth dough. → Use more flour if needed to prevent the dough from sticking. If the dough gets to warm and hard to work with, let it chill for a few minutes in the refrigerator before you proceed.
Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes up to two days.
If you are ready to make your recipe, place the puff pastry on a floured working surface and roll it out into a thin square or rectangle (as needed).
