Easy Puff Pastry Dough Recipe at Home | Xman & Co

unsalted butter

🥗Healthier: margarine

💰Cheaper: vegetable shortening

Margarine can reduce saturated fat, while shortening is often less expensive.

Add 2 cups of bread flour to a mixing bowl.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the flour.

Pour in 1/3 cup of cold water and mix until combined, being careful not to overwork the dough.

Transfer the dough ball to a glass bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent drying out.

Refrigerate the covered dough for 30 minutes to cool it down before adding butter.

After 30 minutes, remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface.

Grate 1/4 slab of butter evenly over the rolled-out dough.

Fold the dough over the butter and roll it out again, ensuring not to mix the butter into the dough but to form layers.

Repeat the rolling and folding process about 8 times to create layers.

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 20 minutes before using.
