We cook often flour products from yeast or yeast-free puff pastry bought in a store, because it is easy, quick and not very expensive. Fortunately, the factory production of this type of product is on the right track. But sometimes you can afford to knead puff pastry at home. And don’t rush to close the recipe, because we are not talking about the classic long and troublesome process. Puff pastry instant cooking you can really make it at home, and your “Napoleon” or reeds will turn out the way you can only dream of.

Puff pastry recipe:

• Water at room temperature (can be a little hotter) - 250 ml. (1 glass)
• Egg - 1 pc.
• Vegetable oil - 1 tbsp. spoon
• Sugar - 1 tsp.
• Salt - 1 tsp.
• Butter - 200 g.
• Flour - 525 g (3.5 cups)
• Vinegar (1-9%) - 1 tbsp. spoon

From specified quantity The product yields about 750 g of dough. Each part is approximately 200 g. Those layers of dough that you prepare for future use - immediately send them to the freezer, and you can cook from the rest!

How to make quick puff pastry at home

In a glass of warm water, dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of sugar, stir for better dissolution. Add the egg and stir. Then acetic acid(1 tbsp. spoon). Stir again until smooth.

Sift the flour into the dough, adding it in parts, stirring constantly.

The amount of flour in the recipe is 3.5 cups, but you may need a little more or less (since we all have different flour densities). Focus on the consistency of the dough while kneading.

The dough should come together into a ball and be soft and elastic.

Divide the most delicious and best butter that you have into 4 parts. The butter should be soft and at room temperature.

Divide the dough into four parts.

Roll out each piece to 0.3-0.5 cm.

Spread the butter over the entire surface using a spatula.

The oil should be spread in a thin layer, evenly.

So, the dough crust is completely greased with butter.

Now, starting from the end, wrap the pancake on a rolling pin (the rolling pin can be greased vegetable oil).

We make a longitudinal cut.

Remove the rolling pin from the dough.

Fold the dough into a book.

We pack the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator. We do the same with each of the four parts.

And now, attention, main secret from family notebook: When your pies, cookies, puff pastry rolls are already on the baking sheet, spray cold water your products (this can be made from a spray gun for spraying flowers or linen). You need to spray generously so that the workpieces are very wet. After spraying, place the pan in the oven. Let me remind you that all puff pastry products are baked at high temperatures(210 C and above).

Hello dear!

I miss you) How dizzying and at the same time relaxing summer was! Walks, nature, warmth, barbecue, fresh air, splashing warm water. So much so that it doesn’t emerge from it at all)) And I don’t regret it at all!

But there were also rainy, cool days when we were at home and again we wanted hot tea, and with it something baked, warm, aromatic.

One of these days I wanted to bake puff pastries. So that they are beautiful puff pastries, intricate, with different sweet fillings. And away we go))

There is nothing complicated in the process of making puff pastries; all the work is described on the package with the dough.

Ingredients for making beautiful puff pastries:

— ready-made puff pastry in packages (in the form of rectangular or square layers);

- 1 egg for brushing the puff pastry.

Options for sweet fillings for puff pastries:

- cinnamon with sugar;

- steamed seedless raisins;

- banana pieces;

- steamed and chopped prunes and dried apricots (separately or in a mixture);

- fresh berries(with sugar if desired): strawberries, raspberries, cherries, sweet cherries;

- fresh apple pieces, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar;

- canned fruits pieces: peaches, apricots, pineapples;

- jam, marmalade, jam;

- boiled condensed milk;

- pieces of chocolate.

Preparation of puff pastries:

U different manufacturers I've come across two types of puff pastry: squares and rectangles. Based on the shape of the layers, we will choose the type for future layers.

Which dough to choose: yeast or yeast-free?

Puff pastries made from yeast dough are softer, while those made without yeast are crispier. Choose according to your taste. I love yeast dough and soft puff pastries.

How to work with ready-made frozen puff pastry?

Separate the frozen layers of dough from each other and place them on a flat surface for 20-30 minutes until they become soft. If necessary, roll out (roll only in one direction so as not to damage the layers of dough!). Shape the dough into any shape, using filling if desired. Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet on baking paper at a distance from each other, cover with a towel and leave room temperature for 15-20 minutes for proofing. For shine ready-made puff pastries brush the dough with beaten egg. Bake in an oven preheated to 220 degrees for 5-7 minutes until golden crust, then reduce the temperature to 175 degrees and bake until done for another 10-15 minutes.

Use your sharpest knife to cut the dough! I use ceramic. If your knife has been sharpened for a long time, the dough may stick to it.

Rectangular layers of dough

"Bagels"

Cut the dough layers diagonally. Place banana slices on the bases of the resulting triangles and roll them into a bagel. Here For filling Chocolate chunks also work well.

"Curls"

Sprinkle the dough thickly with cinnamon and sugar, leaving one of the narrow edges of the dough free. Roll up towards the free edge.

Cut the roll in half. Cut each part in the middle, not reaching a little to the end. Turn the resulting halves out.

"Pies with cuts"

Cut the dough sheet in half along the long side. Make parallel cuts on one half of the resulting rectangles. Place chopped berries on the other half (I used cherries).

Cover the filling with the second half of the dough, slightly stretching the cuts. Press the edges of the puff pastry tightly with your fingers to prevent it from coming apart during baking. Here, bright berries are well suited for the filling: cherries, strawberries, which will be visible through the cuts.

"Curly pies"

Cut the dough sheet in half along the long side. Place jam on one half of the resulting rectangles, cover with the other half of the dough, and press the edges tightly with your fingers.

Then press the edges with a fork to create grooves. Press the dough tightly along the edges so that the filling does not leak out!

Square layers of dough

To make puff pastries, each square layer Cut the dough into 4 small squares.

"Daisies"

We make cuts in the corners, leaving a distance of approximately 1 cm between them on the sides of the square. Place halves of canned apricots in the center.

Pull the corners of the dough towards the center and press tightly.

"Envelopes"

Place steamed raisins on the center of the square (first pour boiling water over the raisins for 10 minutes until they become soft, then drain the water). Pull the corners of the dough towards the center and press tightly. Almost any non-liquid filling is suitable here: chopped bananas, berries, fruits, dried apricots, prunes.

"Baskets"

My favorite puff shape! There are long cuts on opposite corners of the cases. Transfer the dough from the corners to opposite sides and press lightly.

We put the filling into the resulting “basket” (I used fresh chopped strawberries with sugar). Any filling will do; the color contrasting with the dough looks best.

Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet on baking paper, brush the dough with beaten egg for shine.

Phew, that was all for today! I don’t know who was more pleased - me when I was cooking, or everyone I treated))

Of course, this is not all that can be wrapped in puff pastry. I really want to add more to the article. There are still simple puff “tongues” and “spirals” with sugar left, triangular pies, another puff “flowers”...

Help yourself! All the best to you, summer, warm! I sincerely wish you to enjoy the last month of summer!

With love, Elena Nazarenko

Step 1: prepare flour and salt.

First of all, we need to sift the flour. Thanks to this process, our dough will be tender and soft. Also, lumps will not form in it, which is also important. So, pour the flour and salt into a sieve and sift over a large dry bowl.

Step 2: prepare the butter.

Place butter on cutting board and using a knife, cut off from a common piece 75 grams. We transfer most of it to a saucer and put it in the refrigerator for a while.

Place a smaller piece in a Turk and place it on medium heat. Constantly stirring with a tablespoon, bring the oil to a liquid state. Immediately after this, turn off the burner and set the container aside using oven mitts. Let the melted butter cool slightly.

Step 3: prepare the puff pastry.

Pour into a bowl with the sifted flour mixture in a thin stream. clean water and then melted butter. With clean hands, knead into a thick, elastic dough.

Attention: When the mass becomes viscous, transfer it to the kitchen table, previously sprinkled with a small amount of flour. Continue kneading the dough for 1–2 minutes until it stops sticking to your hands.
Now we form a ball from the mass, wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to infuse for at least for 40 minutes.

After the allotted time has passed, place the butter on the kitchen table and, using a rolling pin, break it into a thin layer approximately V 1 centimeter. Try to immediately give the component a square shape.
Now we take the dough out of the refrigerator, free it from the cling film and place it next to the butter on the kitchen table, crushed wheat flour. Roll it out into a thin rectangular shape. 1/2 part Gently spread the broken butter. Attention: As long as the component is still cooled, this should be easy to do. Cover the butter with the second half of the dough and, using a rolling pin, lightly beat it and immediately roll out the layer in one direction.

Now lightly sprinkle the dough with flour and fold it into a rectangular shape. three times.

We beat everything again and roll it out in one direction. We repeat this procedure 2–3 more times depending on how flaky you want your baked goods to be.

Next, wrap the dough in cling film and put it in the refrigerator to infuse. for 1 hour. After the allotted time has passed, I recommend repeating everything from start to finish, and so on. only 2 times with a break in 60 minutes. That’s it, the puff pastry is ready, so you can move on to the process of forming and baking the puff pastry.

Step 4: prepare puff pastry puffs.

Today you can prepare many dishes from puff pastry. It is primarily sweet and not sweet pastries. The most famous puff pastry is called “tongues”. It is prepared without any filling at all, but it turns out tasty, tender and crispy. So let's get started! Turn on the oven and preheat it to temperature 200 °C. Meanwhile, on the kitchen table, dusted with a little flour, we lay out a piece of puff pastry that we prepared earlier.

Using a rolling pin, roll it out into a thin layer and immediately chop it into small strips with a knife. We cut each segment crosswise into medium squares, and then, if desired, into triangles. Don't forget to sprinkle each piece with sugar. Attention: the smaller the puff pastry, the tastier it will be, because you can immediately dip it in liquid honey or condensed milk and eat it in one fell swoop.

Now place the pieces of dough on a baking sheet moistened with ordinary cold water and place on the middle level in a preheated oven. Bake the puff pastries for 10 minutes until golden brown. After the allotted time, use oven mitts to remove the container from oven and leave it aside. Let the baked goods cool slightly. Then transfer it to a serving dish.

Another option is to make filled puff pastries. It can be jam, cottage cheese mixed with chopped dried fruits (raisins, prunes, dried apricots), vegetable stew, chopped meat(both raw and fried with onions), stewed pieces mushrooms and much more. In general, whatever the filling is, it should not be very wet (so that the dough does not spread during baking) and in small quantities. So, put our puff pastry on a floured kitchen table and roll it out into a thin layer with a rolling pin. Then, using a knife, cut the flatbread into squares of length approximately 8–10 centimeters.

Place the filling in the center of each piece and wrap it into a rectangle or triangle. Press the open edges with a fork to prevent the seams from opening during baking. Place the puff pastries on a baking sheet, greased with a small amount of vegetable oil, and place on the middle level in the oven.
Preparing baked goods at temperature 200 °C during 10–15 minutes until a golden crust appears on the surface. Important: Cooking time depends on the filling inside. If it is already ready, then the above minutes are enough. If it’s raw, then it’s worth adding a little more time. For meat - 30 minutes, for cottage cheese with egg – 20–25 , for vegetables – 15–25 . At the end, turn off the oven, and take out the baking sheet using oven mitts and set it aside. When the puff pastries have cooled slightly, you can call everyone to dessert table.

Step 5: Serve the puff pastry puffs.

Place the finished, still warm puff pastry puffs on a special plate and serve at the dessert table along with tea, coffee and other hot drinks. The baked goods turn out very tasty and tender, even if there is no filling in it.
Enjoy your meal!

Before baking, the “tongues” can also be coated with whipped egg yolk with sugar;

The puff pastries can be given any shape. For example, round, square, rectangular, roll. Place the dough in muffin tins and bake into baskets, into which you can then add any filling, for example, jam or berries mixed with sugar;

To make puff pastry, use only flour premium, finely ground and proven trademark. Butter is best to use homemade, then the baked goods are not only very tasty, but also soft and flaky.

Every woman strives to pamper her family various pies and buns. It is by baking that you can determine the level of skill of the housewife. After all, you need to be creative when choosing not only the filling, but also the shape of future products. Not everyone knows how to make a beautiful pie.
