FAQs

What can be made from puff pastry dough? ›

If you find puff pastry in the freezer section, just be sure to let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight and you'll be able to whip up flaky pastry recipes, like pop tarts, spinach puffs, or melty baked brie in no time. You can even use the handy ingredient for easy dinners like pot pie topped with puff pastry.

What is the secret to puff pastry? ›

Always preheat your oven for a minimum of 15-20 minutes before baking, because Puff Pastry depends on even heat to rise and puff. Place pastries 1 inch apart. If you want a flaky thin and crispy pastry that's not very puffy, prick the unbaked Puff Pastry all over with a fork, which lets steam escape while baking.

What things should we avoid with puff pastry? ›

Heat is the enemy of Puff Pastry—it handles best when cold. So avoid working with it on hot, humid days, in a stifling hot kitchen or next to your oven.

Does puff pastry need to be baked before filling? ›

Blind baking the crust in the oven before adding the filling will prevent a soggy bottom.

What is puff pastry most commonly used for? ›

Whether it's speedy rough puff, homemade from scratch or a cheat's off-the-shelf block, this buttery pastry can be used for pies, tarts, desserts and canapés.

Is phyllo dough the same as puff pastry? ›

The main differences between puff pastry and phyllo dough are their fat content and preparation. Puff pastry is a laminated dough that gets its signature airy puff from layers of butter, while phyllo dough is comparatively low-fat. Phyllo dough is mostly flour and water and can dry out easily.

What does vinegar do in puff pastry? ›

The acidic properties of vinegar inhibit gluten, some will say. This theory proposes that once the water and flour are combined, gluten starts forming, causing the dough to grow tough. Adding an acid, the theory goes, stops the gluten in its tracks and rescues the crust from toughness.

Is egg or milk better for puff pastry? ›

Egg wash is the most reliable but it can be very thick and sticky. Milk wash will go on more evenly but it can soak into pastry and make it weaker. Melted butter works nicely after the crust has set but it can make the crust greasy and weaker.

What are the rules for puff pastry? ›

Always cut Puff Pastry straight down, never on an angle, to prevent layers from sticking together and inhibiting the rise. Cut up and down, and don't drag the knife. You can brush an egg-wash glaze (1 egg plus 1 tsp. water) over the Puff Pastry to create a rich, golden sheen when baked.

Why is puff pastry so difficult? ›

Puff pastry does need some gluten development but, because of the amount of rolling out that will happen during lamination, it is very easy to overwork a dough which makes it incredibly hard to use and can cause a lot of shrinkage.

What temperature should you cook puff pastry at? ›

About halfway through baking, peek into the oven to see how the pastry is baking. Always bake Puff Pastry Shells in a preheated 425° F oven. Bake Puff Pastry Cups in a preheated 400° F oven for 20 minutes. Do not bake either Shells or Cups in a microwave or toaster oven.

Can I freeze homemade puff pastry? ›

How to Freeze Puff Pastry. Homemade puff pastry can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and frozen for up to a month. If you're picking up a pack of the frozen stuff at the supermarket, just pop that box right in the freezer. It'll be good until the “use by” date on the box.

Why do you poke holes in puff pastry? ›

With docking, the holes allow steam to escape, so the crust should stay flat against the baking dish when it isn't held down by pie weights or a filling. Otherwise the crust can puff up, not only impacting appearance but also leaving you with less space for whatever filling you have planned.

Can I put puff pastry on the bottom of a pie? ›

If you want to make a puff pastry base for your pie

As you warm up your oven, put a baking tray in to heat up. Then when you put your pie in the oven, sit the dish on top of the hot baking tray. I find that this really helps to cook the base of the Steak Pie and stop a soggy bottom.

Can you use puff pastry like a pie crust? ›

I normally use my traditional pie crust with this filling (sometimes with brown butter) but I HAD to try it with puff pastry. Turns out, it's amazing. The high butter content in puff pastry makes this crust melt in your mouth. Not to mention, I think it's stunning.

How long does puff pastry last in the fridge? ›

How to Refrigerate Puff Pastry. If you're a daredevil that made their own puff pastry, first, good for you; second, you can store homemade, unbaked puff pastry wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the fridge for up to three days.
