Homemade Rough Puff Pastry Dough

Homemade Rough Puff Pastry Dough

Unlock the secrets to homemade puff pastry with this straightforward recipe.

  • Total Time: 13 minute
  • Yield: Enough dough for multiple pastries

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1/2 cup ice water

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add the cold butter pieces, tossing them until each is coated with flour.
  2. Add Water Gradually: Gradually pour in ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Add just enough water to form a rough ball, but be careful not to over-moisten.
  3. Initial Rolling and Folding: Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll into a rectangle. Fold it in thirds like a letter, then turn 90 degrees and repeat the roll and fold. Wrap and chill the dough for 30 minutes.
  4. Repeat Folds: After chilling, roll out, fold, and turn the dough two more times, chilling for 30 minutes after each complete set of folds.
  5. Final Chilling: After the final folds, wrap the dough well and refrigerate for at least an hour before using.
