Puff Pastry

   Puff pastry is light and flaky baked pastry made by layering butter and dough. It is used to make a wide variety of baked goods like egg puff, king cake, apple strudel, rolls etc.

Ingredients

• 2 lb(1kg) all purpose flour
• 1 lb(1/2 kg) kg water
• 20 g salt
• 1 lb(1/2 kg) butter(cold)

Directions

   Mix the flour salt and water to smooth dough. Place the cold butter in the middle and cover it with the
dough from all sides. Roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick and length of  3 times the width.

Spread flour on top of the dough to prevent from sticking. Fold the dough from longer side to middle to make 3 layers. Refrigerate and flatten the dough to the same rectangle size again and then fold. Repeat this for 4-5 five times. Finally flatten the dough and is ready for use(or keep frozen for later).
