Puff Pastry Dough

5.0(20)

Puff pastry dough is quick and easy to make by hand or with a food processor. One batch replaces 1 box (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry from the market. It bakes up light and flaky with a delicate crunch.

Ingredients (5)

serves

2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugarsugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher saltsalt
1 1/4 cup (2 1/2 sticks) salted butter (very cold), cut into tiny piecesbutter
1/2 cup ice-cold waterwater

Instructions (5 steps)

01Add the flour, sugar, salt and half the butter to the bowl of the food processor. Pulse just until the flour is incorporated. Do not over-process.
02Add remaining butter and super-cold water to the bowl. Pulse just until a dough forms and comes together into a ball. Again, do not over-process. We need small chunks of butter scattered throughout the dough so our pastry is light and flaky with a delicate crunch.
03Transfer dough to a lightly-floured board. Quickly knead it a few times with the heel of your hands. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch thick square. Wrap it in plastic and chill it in the fridge for 1 hour.
04With a lightly-floured rolling pin, roll the chilled square of dough into an 8″x10″ rectangle. Lightly dust both sides with flour. Starting from the shorter end, fold the rectangle into thirds – just like folding a business letter before placing it into an envelope.
