Ingredients:
500 grams of wheat flour
500 grams of butter at room temperature
1 cup of cold water
1 pinch of salt
Preparation method
To start making this puff pastry recipe, the first step is to gather the ingredients.
The quantities indicated yield 500g of puff pastry, follow the steps carefully to get good results.
Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a hole in the center, like a volcano.
Tip: If you have a planetary mixer, prepare this recipe in it, it will be easier.
Pour cold water into the hole and, with your hands, start mixing the flour and water in circular movements, from the inside to the shape.
Set aside when you have a smooth and compact dough.
Tip: If the dough is too soft after kneading for 2-3 minutes, add a little more flour.
If, on the other hand, it is too dry, add a little more water.
To prepare this homemade puff pastry, it is important that the butter is at room temperature, that is, solid but slightly softened, as this will make it easier to incorporate into the dough.
Cut it into 8 cubes of the same size.
Tip: To replace the butter with margarine, use slightly chilled margarine, so that you can use it with the same consistency as butter.
Sprinkle flour on the work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a rectangle.
Place 2 cubes of butter in the center and close, folding the two ends of the dough over the butter.
Flatten it with the rolling pin, crushing the butter into the dough.
Set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out again into a rectangle with a rolling pin.
Add 2 more pieces of butter to the center, fold it in half and flatten it out again with a rolling pin.
Repeat this process twice more, leaving it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes between each step.
Tip: Repeating the process of rolling out the dough, adding butter, folding and rolling it out again is important to give the puff pastry its characteristic layered appearance.
When you have finished adding all the butter to the dough, leave it in the refrigerator for 1 hour and it is ready to use!
If you prefer, you can even freeze it. To do this, wrap it well in plastic wrap and remove it from the freezer about 1 hour before using.
You can use this homemade puff pastry recipe to prepare sweet or savory recipes in the oven.
