Puff Pastry Sheets

Puff pastry sheets are a versatile and flaky pastry dough made from layers of butter and dough folded repeatedly to create hundreds of thin layers. Originating in 17th-century France, this dough is prized for its ability to rise dramatically when baked, resulting in a light, airy texture. The flavor is rich and buttery, with a subtle sweetness that makes it a favorite for both savory and sweet applications. Its texture is crisp and flaky, offering a satisfying crunch with each bite. In cooking, puff pastry is known for its ability to encase fillings without becoming soggy and to brown beautifully, making it ideal for both appetizers and desserts.

Notes

When selecting puff pastry, look for sheets that are well-chilled and not cracked. Store unopened pastry in the freezer and use it directly from frozen for best results. Once opened, it can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Always handle puff pastry gently to maintain its layers, and allow it to thaw properly before use. Be aware that puff pastry contains gluten and dairy, which may concern those with dietary restrictions.
