Puff Pastry

Ingredients

Preparation steps

1. 1

   Melt the butter without heating it too much.

2. 2

   Weigh the well-chilled water and the salt into the mixer bowl.

3. 3

   Add the flour.

4. 4

   Start mixing on minimum speed with the hook.

5. 5

   Mix the melted butter into the dough little by little, always on minimum speed.

6. 6

   Do not develop the gluten and don’t hesitate to finish mixing by hand.

7. 7

   The dough must have no body! Test the elasticity and tenacity by tearing off a piece of dough.

8. 8

   Once the base dough is made, cover it with plastic wrap pressed to the surface, shape it into a rectangle, and set it aside in the freezer.

9. 9

   Roll out each base dough into a square and lock in the softened puff pastry butter, which should have the same consistency as the base dough.

    Give two single turns, then two double turns, with a 30 min rest in the cold, covered with film, between turns.

11. 11

    After a final rest in the cold, roll out as required.
