How to Make Puff Pastry | Easy Homemade Puff Pastry Recipe

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is lower in saturated fat, while margarine is often more budget-friendly.

Whisk together 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl.

Add 2/3 cup cold water gradually, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until it springs back when touched and is slightly sticky.

Roll out the dough into an approximately 8-inch square.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Prepare the butter by breaking up 1 cup of softened butter and pounding it into a 5-inch slab.

Wrap the butter slab in plastic wrap and chill alongside the dough for 30 minutes.

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out slightly.

Place the butter slab in the center of the dough and fold the dough over to encase the butter.

Roll the dough out to about 18 inches long and fold it into thirds.

Repeat the rolling and folding process several times, chilling the dough as needed.
