I made it just as she demonstrated, and it puffed up like CRAZY. The result was absolutely amazing and the crispy and flaky layers were just beyond description. My family LOVED it! And guess what, this was my first time making puff pastry dough. Everybody, Anna right here the queen of pastry!
@@turtlebutt711 Rude. Some recipes are better than others. I appreciate hearing from someone who's tried the recipe and can confirm that it worked for them.
The pantry at the old Victorian house that I grew up in had a huge flour drawer and a sugar chest built in. It also had a butler window into the dining area so that the cooking area was firmly separated from the household. My mother made use of the built in fixtures for a good long while. Horrible cook, but a great baker.
I love EVERYTHING about this video! how she's straight to the point, her kitchen drawers, the camera angles all just speak proffesionalism and QUALITY! for some reason this was so relaxing to watch
A a qualified baker with over fifteen years in the trade I must say this is one of the best videos I have seen on this platform demonstrating how to make a proper puff pastry. Most will demonstrate some form of flaky pastry rather than a puff.
I just love how professional she is. Technique, economy of motion, logic, elegance, good narration, and spit-on teacher. The results are perfect and consistent. Terrific. I'm learning a ton.
Here in Brazil, that's not easily found in markets. I don't believe we have pastry shops. I'm trying to do the Ramsay's Wellington and the step "you just place puff pastry on it" sounds like "just sprinkle it with fairy dust".
Do it yourself, it is not that hard & like you said there is a lot of videos on how to make it! We have a puff pastry recipe which is more detailed if you interested. Trust me, it's worth it to make it yourself
The first time I tried making puff pastry from scratch, I used the "normal" method of making it, and it turned out HORRIBLY! I tried your way the second time and it came out absolutely perfect! It was every bit as good as something you would buy at a professional bakery. I give this recipe an A++ rating 😊
@@Darkangel7n8 I've tried the usual way and ofcourse I still have no idea if its me or if its the method I used so I never tried making puff pastry again. It has been over 5 years and after watching this, I will try this method.
Same thing, my first time making it from scratch, while I was busy preparing other ingredients, my dad confused it for kneaded dough and messed it up! XD
Just wanted to say, I followed this recipe to the T and it was a major success. I made Pastelitos de Goya a e Quesso and it was a hit. It puffed up perfectly and the layers were just perfect. And it was flavor! I made the dough one day (took about 6 hours) and I waited an hour in between folds, I also tried to get as many fold as I could before the dough became too soft instead of doing just 2 folds at a time. I cut the dough I’m half and wrapped it with saran wrap, placed it in a tuba-ware that fit and froze it until I needed it again. The night before I needed to use it, I thawed it by letting it sit out/ or thaw in the fridge. I rolled it out as thin as I could (about a centimeter thin) and cut into 6 x 6 in squares putting flour in between each square and stacked it. Then put it back in the tuba-wear and into the fridge to use the next day. Definitely recommend
TH-cam has saved me so much time and MONEY....Omg. After seeing this....I'm gonna be a baking maniac. NO MORE buying puff pastry dough. I feel so EMPOWERED now. This channel is one of my GO TOs......I'm about to AMAZE My siblings with my homemade APPLE TURNOVERS....Omg. I just love this channel.
This is honestly the best puff pastry recipe I've ever used. I've made this so many times and it's always a big hit for parties. Puffs up a TON! I love the inverse method too as it gives even butter layers. Thank you Anna!
Thank you, thank you!!! My daughter made a Ground Beef filling, and an apple filling for the Puff Pastry. They were delicious! God BLESS you for sharing your "gift"!
Thank you. I am definitely a visual learner. Your style of teaching makes seemingly difficult techniques easy. The puff pastry I made was incredible! I used it in apple turnovers, and they came out beautifully.
Even though I used salted butter, and forgot to add butter to the dough until I'd already kneaded it for a couple of minutes, the butter block immediately cracked and stuck to the counter, I only chilled it for 20 - 30 min in between folds, folded 3 times in between chills, and I was half drunk the whole time, it came out amazing. Made square biscuits with it. 👌
blud u better not be capping cuz this comment is the reason im going to use this tutorial and not any other but if you where lying istg im gonna shove the dough up your- nose ^^ im sorry
This just blew my mind! I have made two batches of puff pastry from another recipe using yeast, straight butter (no flour added), no lemon, and the butter on the inside, and with considerably shorter wait times in between, but this looks so much better. I can't wait to try it!
Wow! This is the easiest, simplest, most concise explanatory demonstration I've seen for this recipe in a loooong time! I love it! Now I feel fearless to go make it :)
I watched this like 30 times before making this. I made it just like her making sure to chill the dough in between rolling and the pastries I made puffed up so much! Great recipe! Make sure to always keep the dough cold or else it sticks like crazy.
@@stephaniereuter6328 put it at 350°F or lower and bake for 15 minutes, take it out, cut one in half and put it back in for 5 more mins if it's not fully baked
As a dude I'm not supposed to be envious of other people's kitchens, for goodness sake... yet here I am, 100% jealous of how well organised that layout is! Great video.
My first attempt at puff pastry was with this recipe, I don’t believe in the “shortcuts”! And was I so glad I did it this way! The pastries came out soooo buttery, extremely flaky, just a million delicious buttery layers of crispiness. They were perfect.
This is obviously a professional setup with a high level of investment. She must be going through ingredients pretty rapidly. I would guess the environment is climate controlled and pretty well pest-controlled and containers kept cleaned and often switched out.
This is literally the best puff pastry I’ve made in my now 4 years in the baking/culinary field at my college. This is better than what the chefs give tbh. Very easy to make, just need to be patient but I used this to make an Apple strudel, nice and butter the flakiness is out of this world. Love it so much I’m using it AGAIN to make a strawberry strudel.
I’ve never made pastries before quarantine and I’ve made this recipe twice now and it’s given me the best results. It’s worth the time so make sure you’re planning ahead
I think the whole purpose of your show is to make us appreciate the hard work that goes with making the dough so we won't complain about the prices of the pastries that we 'BUY' from the bakeries. I've watched puffy dough making videos many times, but always ended up going to the stores to buy the baked goods.
Just tried this recipe, BEST RECIPE YET!! This is pure quality, and when baked up, whether for cookies or pastries, it just MELTS in your mouth.. absolutely outstanding!
I have watched so many videos on puff pastry. But this!!!!! It was like a Christmas morning opening gift kind of excitement! THANK YOU! OMG! I love the ingredients in the drawers.
I like her, there's always a sense of passion in her every move.thumbs up!! I had all your ingredients in your videos and i am trying them one by one.and it's awesome!!!
I'm not rich and I have a drawer of flour and another for sugar. Just have to have the space to dedicate your drawers to those things. Got the idea from my grandma who baked all the time.
I have tested this recipe. So nice, not too oily, if youre concerned with the excessive butter amount. I made a full recipe, stored the unused opart in freezer for future use. I prefer to DIY vs store bought so I got yo control the ingredients, i.e., no preservative.
I’ve always wanted to make my own puff pastry but it always seemed like a lot of effort. Well, this year for Christmas I wanted to make a Beef Wellington and Everyone was out of frozen puff pastry. I gave your recipe/method a go. I wasn’t doing so well rolling out the butter as a sheet like you did and then putting the dough on top of it so I put the butter on top of the dough which still worked out for me. When all was said and done, the dough turned out quite well and my Beef Wellington was a huge success! Thanks and I will try it again.
I just made this last night but halved the recipe, it still turned out perfect, and it was my first try! I was so impressed! This video is so helpful, thank you so much!
I made this today and it was so flaky and buttery. I halved all the ingredients. The first fold was the hardest because the beurrage was not staying together. Added some flour and rolled it. The rest of the foldings were pretty manageable. I also didn’t have a big rolling pin. It was worth the work. One advice : make sure the temperature of the dough and the work station is always cool enough. Thank you so much for the recipe!
OMG I've tried this method and its brilliant. I must say I was very reluctant of using too much butter but after trying it myself it's the best puff pastry I have ever tasted. I would say however I have tried freezing my butter and dough (20 -30 minutes each way) just to save time and its taste just as same.
I watched this video about 10 times in anticipation of making puff pastry for the first time. I was actually so intimidated by the thought of making this. I read many recipes and reviews and chose this one because Anna Olson's presentation is so clear and she's so confidant (which she should be if she made all of those pastry doughs in her cooler). I followed her instructions, except I didn't add sugar because I was using it for a savory torte. I also messed up in the beginning by not leaving the beurrage in the fridge long enough for our warm and humid day. I thought I wrecked it, butter sticking to everything and especially all over my counter. But, I put it back in and chilled it longer and I have to say that this puff pastry came out so, so good. Many, many layers and so delicious! I am so excited that I know how to make this and I will be making pastry for everyone I know from now on.
I remember when we made puff pastries in baking class it was one of the hardest things we did but worth it's doing in the end because it's very delicious
Really can't wait to try making this puff pastry dough the way you have explained about the method I really loved it could not have got any better than this thank you for sharing your recipes.
Due to supply chain problems I cannot find pre-made puff pastry in the frozen section in any of the towns near me. I came to youtube looking for a recipe that was not intimidating. I found this one. The first time I made it, it was perfect! Thank you so much for making these videos. I will never buy premade again.
I just took the first batch out of the oven and ... hellooo gorgeous! Super flaky, crispy but still tender, buttery and delicious. This isn't super labor intensive and most of the time involved is when it's resting/cooling. The recipe also makes a lot of dough so use one part and freeze the rest. I'll be making this recipe again!
I'm Italian, and I make home made pasta, butter, garlic butter, parsley butter. black pepper butter, ice cream, croissants, puff pastry, Bolognese suace and so on... I bake and cook by forever and I want to tell you that you can clearly tell that you are a professional baker. Short and clear instructions in the real way to do the puff pastry. I watched (for fun) many recipes for the puff pastry in English, and I was astonished to see how people claim to make the puff pastry but they do not. They make crazy procedures. I saw one guy that was freezing the butter for then grate it into the flour hahaha... Basically all of them, put the butter inside the dough. Instead (IF YOU WANTS TO MAKE A REAL PUFF PASTRY), it is the REVERSE, like you did. People say that you have to make 6 times the folding part... I saw people telling that you have to leave the dough rest in the fridge for 3 days... Three days????!!!! Not even the Croissants need so long rest!!! Well done Madam! Really well done!
@@ElyonaiAsiel Plain flours are best for pastry because their gluten strands are relaxed while the stronger gluten in bread flours can cause pastry to shrink back.
@@ElyonaiAsiel You can mix half and half and it will comes but the best it is the plain one... Of course, all porpoise can be used it is all porpoises.. JUst mixing flours or use just the all purpoise, change a bit the taste...
I love how this is straight to the point but really educational not like those 20mins videos like please! I just want the recipe! I love the kitchen btw!
I watched this video 2 days ago and now that I made it and it rose heavenly I came back to thank you ♥️. I can't even bake a cake properly and here I am making puff pastry and it was success from the first try... You are amazing woman... Thank you so much ♥️!
Anna Olson I'm an ardent follower of your show. Among all the pastry series your's is the easiest to follow. Tq for showing how to make a delicious puff pastry.
This really isn’t pie crust as it puffs up, but, I have a tip for you! Take any pastry or pie crust recipe, and use at least half frozen vodka in place of water to put together. Alcohol doesn’t form gluten, so it’s way flakier. You can go all the way to all alcohol, but, incredibly, it’s almost too crumbly flaky! Check out Rose Levy Beranbaum for awesome pie and baking recipes!
How would I form the dough part it I don’t have a dough hook? Could I do it by hand? And if I can how would I do that and make sure I don’t over work the dough? Also when you chill them in between folds/turns do you have to do your next fold in 2 hours or can it be chilled for longer than that? And if so how long can you rest it between turns/folds? can you over rest puff pastry? Sorry for all the questions it’s been a while and I can’t remember everything 😬 Thanks! Btw I LOVE this video because I have been looking everywhere(online) for an authentic recipe for puff pastry so that you get all those beautiful flaky layers 😋
I don't know if you have a food processor, but most food processors have plastic inserts that you use in them so that you can you can use it to knead things in it. I have a large processor that I used for kneading before I got my Kitchen Aid stand Mixer. There are also hand mixers that have dough hooks or lower priced stand mixers that do the job just as well as a higher priced version.
Nice stand mixers are a lifetime investment. I know that when I move out of my parents house after college and stuff I'm gonna need one, but my parents' one has lasted them probably longer than I've been alive or close to it with no sign of stopping. If you ever have the chance to save up for the expensive as hell nice kitchenaid, I highly recommend it. Kitchenaids last forever and are so versatile-- it's amazing.
I added spices to my barrage and made dinner rolls. They were excellent , the way you did everything in this video I copied it other than my added my spices to the barrage and they turned out very well😊😊😊 all the spices I used was tamarack, dried green onion, dried powdered garlic I dried and crushed and ground my own garlic , I dried my own green onion that I had choped , at the end I folded in mozzarella cheese that was finely grated. They made wonderful dinner rolls . Thank you so much for your recipe.
I recomment not doing this in our region - tropical, i read your comment too late so i feel like i waste a ton of butter, my solution is plastic wrap, one layer on top and one on botom, rolling it like the video and put it in fridge some minutes, and follow the steps.
Anna, you said at 1:42 mark to add lemon juice to the detrempe and that it was, "really important" however, you didn't say why it was important. I have made puff pastry countless times but never heard of lemon juice as an ingredient. What function does the juice serve?
If I am not mistaken, the acid in the lemon juice prevents too much gluten forming and starts to break it down, making your puff pastry flaky, tender and have clear defined laminated layers of beurrage and detrempe. It also stops the pastry turning an off colour, sometimes pastry goes from a golden buttery colour to a dirty beige over time. However it is not a necessary ingredient, it just aids the flakiness. Hope that helps!
i think lemon juice being an acid will start breaking the down the gluten protein n it helps in rolling the dough a bit uniformly like they use vinegar in preparing a strudel n they roll the dough super thin, i like the lemon juice since breaking down the protein gluten acting against long gluten strand formations as well as easy rolling
I have never made puff pastry before, this method was fabulous and the result better than I could have expected Thank you very much. Angela Evans London UK
I don’t understand this ?!?! Usually it is the dough which surrounds the butter and protect it from being oozed out !!! And when baking , the butter and its moisture will puff the dough layers creating expansion of volume !! In this video , the butter is the outer part not the inner ??!! How come the outer part which is the butter will not just melt on the tray while baking ??!!
Try adding cocoa powder to the beurage ingrediants for a chocolate puff. Herbs and/or cheese can be sprinkled across the dough just before folding it for the final turn. I've done both and they came out great. I use the classic method of sealing the beurage inside the detrempe.
Mr. Harrison, thank you so much for your help, really appreciate you took your time to answer me. i will be doing chocolate first and try dried powdered fruits as well :) Pastry is so fun, its just like chemistry class
I live in Montreal and I can totally vouch for french methods, their baking is exceptionally good!! Thanks for making the video, now it looks attemptable ;)
I made it just as she demonstrated, and it puffed up like CRAZY. The result was absolutely amazing and the crispy and flaky layers were just beyond description. My family LOVED it! And guess what, this was my first time making puff pastry dough. Everybody, Anna right here the queen of pastry!

Can you please tell me the if the cup size is for 125 gram or 250 gram?? It would be really helpful. Thank you in advance.
@@shamimayesmin764 all the gram measurements are in the description. just press or click on the title
omg. that kitchen is a cooks or bakers heaven. everything just where you need it.
I watched this video about 10 times in anticipation of making puff pastry for the first time. I was actually so intimidated by the thought of making this. I read many recipes and reviews and chose this one because Anna Olson's presentation is so clear and she's so confidant (which she should be if she made all of those pastry doughs in her cooler). I followed her instructions, except I didn't add sugar because I was using it for a savory torte. I also messed up in the beginning by not leaving the beurrage in the fridge long enough for our warm and humid day. I thought I wrecked it, butter sticking to everything and especially all over my counter. But, I put it back in and chilled it longer and I have to say that this puff pastry came out so, so good. Many, many layers and so delicious! I am so excited that I know how to make this and I will be making pastry for everyone I know from now on.
Congrats, and good for you for having the courage to try this recipe out!
I remember when we made puff pastries in baking class it was one of the hardest things we did but worth it's doing in the end because it's very delicious
Really can't wait to try making this puff pastry dough the way you have explained about the method I really loved it could not have got any better than this thank you for sharing your recipes.
Due to supply chain problems I cannot find pre-made puff pastry in the frozen section in any of the towns near me. I came to youtube looking for a recipe that was not intimidating. I found this one. The first time I made it, it was perfect! Thank you so much for making these videos. I will never buy premade again.
holy shit i want that kitchen
akogarehouse lol
Take it
Same
THAT KITCHEN COST AT LEAST 10 000 EUROS
I’ve been making this for years now my favorite video on puff pastry a bit time consuming but it always comes out delicious
Best pastry dough video on TH-cam
Thank you so much!
One of my favorite bakers' awesome work my lady God bless you.
I just took the first batch out of the oven and ... hellooo gorgeous! Super flaky, crispy but still tender, buttery and delicious. This isn't super labor intensive and most of the time involved is when it's resting/cooling. The recipe also makes a lot of dough so use one part and freeze the rest. I'll be making this recipe again!
how much times did u fold?
@@poop-nq2yw Sorry, I didn't see this until now. I followed how she did it in the video.
The instructions are clear and simple to follow. Thank you Love the storage spaces
I'm mildly shocked by the amount of puff pastries she has in her fridge.
I mildly shocked by the fact that I find atleast 1 kpop fan in almost every youtube video I watch :D
I'm more shocked about the amount of butter in that dough !!
chimglishguru,
Anna owns a bakery shop, I am sure she uses all that dough for in her shop.
She owns a bakery
+I see Ewe makes sense
It’s not my first time laminating dough but it was my first time making puff pastry and it turned out AMAZING. ❤❤❤
I'm Italian, and I make home made pasta, butter, garlic butter, parsley butter. black pepper butter, ice cream, croissants, puff pastry, Bolognese suace and so on... I bake and cook by forever and I want to tell you that you can clearly tell that you are a professional baker. Short and clear instructions in the real way to do the puff pastry. I watched (for fun) many recipes for the puff pastry in English, and I was astonished to see how people claim to make the puff pastry but they do not. They make crazy procedures. I saw one guy that was freezing the butter for then grate it into the flour hahaha... Basically all of them, put the butter inside the dough. Instead (IF YOU WANTS TO MAKE A REAL PUFF PASTRY), it is the REVERSE, like you did. People say that you have to make 6 times the folding part... I saw people telling that you have to leave the dough rest in the fridge for 3 days... Three days????!!!! Not even the Croissants need so long rest!!! Well done Madam! Really well done!
Hy
To make puff pastry can we use bread flour?
Or just All-purpose flour
@@ElyonaiAsiel Plain flours are best for pastry because their gluten strands are relaxed while the stronger gluten in bread flours can cause pastry to shrink back.
@@ElyonaiAsiel You can mix half and half and it will comes but the best it is the plain one... Of course, all porpoise can be used it is all porpoises.. JUst mixing flours or use just the all purpoise, change a bit the taste...
She is the reason why I love baking since 12yo
This is my first time doing croissant, and it turned out perfect.
Thank you Anna. I'm a big fan.
amazing, glad to hear!
I love how this is straight to the point but really educational not like those 20mins videos like please! I just want the recipe! I love the kitchen btw!
I made this a month ago was great. Took some time but was worth it.
I watched this video 2 days ago and now that I made it and it rose heavenly I came back to thank you ♥️. I can't even bake a cake properly and here I am making puff pastry and it was success from the first try... You are amazing woman... Thank you so much ♥️!
F.zahra El assri did you used water at room temperature or chilled water ??
@@alizaamjad2658 I used water right from the tap
I was honestly skeptic all about this recipe. But seriously everyone needs to try it is works sooooo well
I'm awestruck with the way your handle things
After watching this.. I've decided to go to the grocery store to buy puff pastry
My thoughts exactly 😂😂
The puff pastry you buy in a store is not the same as a homemade one
Anna Olson I'm an ardent follower of your show. Among all the pastry series your's is the easiest to follow. Tq for showing how to make a delicious puff pastry.
Thank you
there is no such thing as a shocking amount of butter. 😚 the more the better.
Kristen Harral the more the butter
french logic...

Sprinkles that's what I was thinking lol
Amen.
Fell in love with those drawers.
i find so many Barbary but no body's working like u my sweet lady. thank u so much,,,,,,,
I was looking for a pie crust recipe on your channel and I came across this one
I followed the instructions and it came out just as yours.
This really isn’t pie crust as it puffs up, but, I have a tip for you! Take any pastry or pie crust recipe, and use at least half frozen vodka in place of water to put together. Alcohol doesn’t form gluten, so it’s way flakier. You can go all the way to all alcohol, but, incredibly, it’s almost too crumbly flaky! Check out Rose Levy Beranbaum for awesome pie and baking recipes!
She has a cool kitchen. Always a fan of her ❤😊
I was today years old when I learned about a Beurrage; not to be confused with a barrage 🤣...I can't wait to try this now, thank you.
watching how you presentate the prosedure was more worthed than hearing my lecturer explaining in my pastry practical lab.
Glad it helped you.
I’ve made puff pastry before. It’s a lot of work but is so satisfying making it. Nothing like homemade
I didn't realise I needed rolling pins with the handles on the outsides. I was always using the ones with handles on the insides.
LOL always the joker in the crowd. That was me when young always saw humor in all things. Love life, joy always.
Life is short
@@martaaltheide5146
Oh my god this turned out to be so great I wish I could upload a picture
How would I form the dough part it I don’t have a dough hook? Could I do it by hand? And if I can how would I do that and make sure I don’t over work the dough?
Also when you chill them in between folds/turns do you have to do your next fold in 2 hours or can it be chilled for longer than that? And if so how long can you rest it between turns/folds? can you over rest puff pastry?
Sorry for all the questions it’s been a while and I can’t remember everything 😬
Thanks!
Btw I LOVE this video because I have been looking everywhere(online) for an authentic recipe for puff pastry so that you get all those beautiful flaky layers 😋
I don't know if you have a food processor, but most food processors have plastic inserts that you use in them so that you can you can use it to knead things in it. I have a large processor that I used for kneading before I got my Kitchen Aid stand Mixer. There are also hand mixers that have dough hooks or lower priced stand mixers that do the job just as well as a higher priced version.
Her kitchen is AMAZING!!
Oh how I would like a stand mixer like that! However..
I am going to try this, it looks really good. Thank you 🙏🏻
Nice stand mixers are a lifetime investment. I know that when I move out of my parents house after college and stuff I'm gonna need one, but my parents' one has lasted them probably longer than I've been alive or close to it with no sign of stopping. If you ever have the chance to save up for the expensive as hell nice kitchenaid, I highly recommend it. Kitchenaids last forever and are so versatile-- it's amazing.
I added spices to my barrage and made dinner rolls. They were excellent , the way you did everything in this video I copied it other than my added my spices to the barrage and they turned out very well😊😊😊 all the spices I used was tamarack, dried green onion, dried powdered garlic I dried and crushed and ground my own garlic , I dried my own green onion that I had choped , at the end I folded in mozzarella cheese that was finely grated. They made wonderful dinner rolls . Thank you so much for your recipe.
whats the room temperature when rolling the beurrage?
it seems really challenging to me to keep the butter in shape no melted/got sticky.
Same here
@@Anahcnaw same
Yeah how's that not melting all over the place? But then again I live in tropical country so this might be impossible for me lol
Righttt i did it Yesteday and it melted :/ so I had to put it in the fridge again
I recomment not doing this in our region - tropical, i read your comment too late so i feel like i waste a ton of butter, my solution is plastic wrap, one layer on top and one on botom, rolling it like the video and put it in fridge some minutes, and follow the steps.
No doubt Anna is in charge of that dough!....love watching the process....it is a beautiful dough...
Anna, you said at 1:42 mark to add lemon juice to the detrempe and that it was,
"really important" however, you didn't say why it was important. I have made puff pastry countless times but never heard of lemon juice as an ingredient. What function does the juice serve?
If I am not mistaken, the acid in the lemon juice prevents too much gluten forming and starts to break it down, making your puff pastry flaky, tender and have clear defined laminated layers of beurrage and detrempe. It also stops the pastry turning an off colour, sometimes pastry goes from a golden buttery colour to a dirty beige over time. However it is not a necessary ingredient, it just aids the flakiness. Hope that helps!
+Andrew in the Kitchen Wow, you really do help a lot of the troubleshooting we have !!
Haha it's what you learn when you have qualifications in food and are obsessed with baking!
lemon juice helps to keep the flexibility of the dough, otherwise the dough get cracked while sheeting.
i think lemon juice being an acid will start breaking the down the gluten protein n it helps in rolling the dough a bit uniformly like they use vinegar in preparing a strudel n they roll the dough super thin, i like the lemon juice since breaking down the protein gluten acting against long gluten strand formations as well as easy rolling
This is a bucket list item for me. I’ve been intimidated after a few failed attempts, this looks like an achievable method. Thank you for video.
I love your kitchen 😍😍😍😍😍
Absolutely incredible. I'm never buying puff pastry from the store again
How long can we keep the puff pastries in the fridge? I want to make some puff pastries and use for several dishes like croissants, biscuits..
they can be frozen for up to 3 months
I have never made puff pastry before, this method was fabulous and the result better than I could have expected Thank you very much. Angela Evans London UK
very nice will be a very small word.
Beautiful recipe,
beautiful kitchen,
beautiful style
and beautiful you are.
Thank you so much
That looks scrumptious just as it is. So soft and chewy looking.
Is that really you wrap the dough with butter ? Because normally I wrapped butter with dough. Thank you
she did an inverted puff pastry. The usual is you wrap the beurrage in detrempe. but she switched the two which makes it an inverted puff pastry
What is the effective difference after baking?
@Nonna mcGee it's just a question, and an important one. I don't see nitpicking.
I was looking for this question 😉
I don’t understand this ?!?! Usually it is the dough which surrounds the butter and protect it from being oozed out !!! And when baking , the butter and its moisture will puff the dough layers creating expansion of volume !! In this video , the butter is the outer part not the inner ??!! How come the outer part which is the butter will not just melt on the tray while baking ??!!
incredible puff pastry! Thank Anna! My favorite recipe ever! FAbulous!
Mrs. Olsson,
is it possible to add flavour to the dough? how?
for example... cacao, coffee, powdered dried fruit, orange zest, hazelnut, etc.
Try adding cocoa powder to the beurage ingrediants for a chocolate puff. Herbs and/or cheese can be sprinkled across the dough just before folding it for the final turn. I've done both and they came out great. I use the classic method of sealing the beurage inside the detrempe.
Mr. Harrison,
thank you so much for your help, really appreciate you took your time to answer me. i will be doing chocolate first and try dried powdered fruits as well :)
Pastry is so fun, its just like chemistry class
I live in Montreal and I can totally vouch for french methods, their baking is exceptionally good!! Thanks for making the video, now it looks attemptable ;)
