Puff pastry – recipe
This is a staple recipe, that everyone should try at least once in their life: the puff pastry. It’s a bit difficult to describe, but with Sonia’s tips you can cook it yourself! Find this and many more recipes on the Giallozafferano App in English itunes.apple.com *** Today we’ll use a few simple ingredients to make quite an elaborate recipe, that in my opinion everyone should try at least once in their life: the puff pastry.

First of all, keep in mind that puffy pastry is best handled at cold temperatures, so you need a fresh place. Take the fresh water, and dissolve the salt in it, combine and sift the flours, and add to the mixer.

@conishuaa u can use margarine but if u do use margarine then u have to use bread flour because of the oils from the margarine…just add 4tbs of wheat gluten additive(found in the baking aisle) to a cup of all purpose flour…

@siapada look in the same aisle you find the flour and look for a wheat gluten…it comes in a small box for like 2.00…it sometimes just say gluten on it but when u see it u will kno what it is…add 4 tbs to a cup of all purpose flour and you’ll have bread flour…

@siapada You need a flour with a high gluten content (with more proteins), maybe in your country you can find it under other names (manitoba, strong flour…), otherwise the dough will crack while rolling it out!

@conishuaa You definitely need a flour with a high gluten content (with more proteins), maybe in your country you can find it under other names (manitoba, strong flour…)… otherwise the dough won’t be elastic and it will crack while rolling it out!

This is another well explained video and I thank you for it. Up to how many days can the dough be kept in the freezer if you don’t use it right away?

@ferbrz More or less… the croissant dough has yeast in it, but in some recipes it can be used to replace puff pastry!
