Frozen puff pastry puffs. Instant puff pastry. Step-by-step preparation of puff pastry from store-bought puff pastry

Crispy, tasty, melt-in-the-mouth puff pastry buns and pies are one of the favorite delicacies, the recipe for which first appeared in France. One day, a student of the French pastry chef, Claudius Gele, had the idea to wrap a piece of butter in the dough, and then roll it out, doing this several times. The result was an airy, light, buttery puff pastry that is still popular in national cuisines around the world. It’s easy to prepare at home, because frozen puff pastry can be bought in the store. But the aerobatics is to make puff pastries with your own hands from homemade dough, because it turns out tastier than semi-finished products.

How to cook puff pastries

The recipe for puff pastries is considered universal, because it can be used to prepare a wide variety of baked goods. Puff pastries are made from puff pastry without and with filling, and pies can be sweet or savory, open or closed. However, the main secret of delicious puff pastries lies not in the filling, but in the dough, which is prepared using a large amount of butter.

The process of making the dough involves covering unleavened or yeast dough with butter and rolling the resulting “sandwich” many times to create a flaky texture. The more layers, the fluffier the puff pastries will be, since the oil evaporates in the oven, due to which the layers are separated from each other by a layer of air. In this case, you need to roll out the dough in a thin layer and make sure that it does not tear, periodically cooling it in the refrigerator. Afterwards, puff pastries are formed from the dough, filled with filling and baked in the oven. Baking made from yeast dough is soft and tender, while baked goods from unleavened dough are crispy and fragile. Making puff pastry is a complex and masterly process, which you can still master on your own if you really want to.

Fillings for puff pastries

The options for sweet fillings are very varied: boiled condensed milk, pieces of chocolate, dried fruits, canned, fresh fruits and berries, jam, preserves, cottage cheese, nuts, cream, marmalade or just cinnamon and sugar. If using liquid jam, it should be thickened with cornstarch to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking. You can add lemon and orange zest, spices, sesame seeds and poppy seeds to the filling for taste and aroma. Sweet puff pastries are an excellent dessert and a complete snack with tea and coffee.

Puff pastries with savory fillings are served as an appetizer for soup and main courses, so they often replace bread. The most popular savory fillings are cheese, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, ham, mushrooms and vegetables. Very tasty combinations of spinach with cheese, chicken with ham, meat with mushrooms, eggs with onions, cream cheese with seafood, potatoes with lentils and many others. It’s worth experimenting here, creating delicious combinations with spices and herbs.

Secrets to making delicious puff pastries: the right ingredients

According to classic puff pastry recipes, a layer of unleavened puff pastry should contain about 300 layers, and a layer of yeast dough should contain from 24 to 96 layers. This is hardly possible at home, so housewives often use simpler recipes for quick-ripening puff pastry. There are some subtleties, knowledge of which will help you prepare tender and airy puff pastries.

For delicious puff pastry, choose flour with a high gluten content - these are the “Extra”, “Krupchatka”, premium and first grade varieties. It is advisable to sift the flour. Use cold, not ice-cold water, while some housewives replace part of the water with milk or add only milk - it turns out delicious, but the dough loses its elasticity. The dosage of salt is also important, since if there is not enough salt, the layers of dough may spread. To improve elasticity, culinary experts advise adding a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice when kneading.

Whether to use butter or creamy margarine is a matter of personal preference. Of course, it tastes better with butter, but modern baking margarine with a high melting point is also suitable for puff pastries, since it produces particularly fluffy baked goods. But you should not use spreads or cheap butter substitutes for dough. Before working with the dough, the butter is usually cooled without freezing, otherwise the thin dough will tear when rolling. Sometimes eggs or yolks, a little cognac or other strong alcohol are added to the dough to improve the taste.

How to roll out dough correctly

First, all the ingredients specified in the recipe are mixed, with the yeast added at the very end. While the dough rests for 30–40 minutes under a towel or cling film, the butter is mixed with a small amount of flour for plasticity, then a rectangular layer is formed from it, which is placed in the refrigerator. After this, a layer is rolled out from the dough, butter is placed in the middle, the ends of the dough are lifted and pinched at the top with an envelope. The dough is rolled out in one direction, folded into three or four and left in a cool place so that the butter hardens a little. Then the procedure of rolling and folding the dough is repeated several more times. By the way, the room should be cool, otherwise the butter will start to melt, and you will have to put the dough in the refrigerator more often.

Cutting dough into puff pastry and baking

The most important thing when cutting is to preserve the layered structure, so the knife must be very sharp. Puff pastry is flexible and can be easily molded into puff pastry of any shape. You can cut the dough into squares and put a little filling on top, you can cut the rectangles diagonally and make bagels. If you roll the rectangular layers into rolls, cut them in half, make small cuts in the center and turn the rolls out, you will get puff curls. Puff pastries in the form of roses and croissants, rectangular and shaped pies, envelopes and baskets with filling look very beautiful.

Before putting the puff pastries in the oven, their tops are greased with yolk for color, but it is better not to grease the edges of the products, otherwise they will become tough. The puff pastries are placed on a cool baking sheet covered with baking paper, rest for a few minutes (no more, otherwise the oil will leak) and placed in the oven, preheated to 180–240 °C, depending on the recipe. At a lower baking temperature, the dough will not rise well and the butter will melt, resulting in flat puff pastries without a flaky texture. If you bake them at a very high temperature, the puff pastries will quickly brown, but the inside will remain raw.

Baked goods made from yeast-free puff pastry

Eastern sweetness

The secret of this recipe is the combination of nut-honey filling and crispy dough. Everything is simple, but in the end the dish resembles an exotic oriental sweet.

Ingredients:

Yeast-free puff pastry – 1 package (500g);
Nuts – 400 g (you can take any to suit your taste);
Honey – 2-3 tbsp;
Sugar – 1 tbsp;
Butter – 50 g;
Egg (yolk) – 1 pc.;
Cinnamon – for sprinkling.

Try to chop the nuts finely and fry them a little. If you use walnuts, it is better not to fry them - they will be bitter. Just chop it.
While the nuts are hot, mix them with honey and sugar. Add cinnamon. Mix everything well and let it brew a little so that the nuts are saturated with the aroma of cinnamon and honey.
To make it easier to work with, divide the dough into several parts.
Roll out each part well. The thickness should not be more than 5 mm.
Before adding the filling, brush each layer with melted butter.
Place the filling and distribute evenly over the dough.
Here's attention! The layers of dough can be placed one on top of the other to form a pie or cakes if the pie is cut into pieces before baking. But you can roll the rolls. Each housewife decides for herself, taking into account her mood and family preferences.
Roll up the roll. Brush the top of the roll with whipped yolk.
Bake the rolls at 250 degrees for 20 minutes.

The puff pastry, nuts and honey will make the roll look like baklava. But a different dough is used to make baklava.

Puff pastries with apples

These are open buns. That is, the apples on top will decorate them.

Ingredients:

Dough – 300 g;
Apples – 2 pcs.;
Jam – apricot or jam – 60-70 g;
Egg – 1 yolk;
Water – 30 g.

Prepare the dough. Defrost and roll it out. Cut into 4 parts, each of which is a rectangle 15 by 10 cm.
Peel the apples and remove the seeds. Cut into thin (no more than 0.5 cm thick) slices.
Dilute the jam with water and put on fire for 2 minutes. Then we pass it through a sieve.
Cover a baking sheet with parchment and place the pieces on it.
We retreat 1.5 cm from each edge, overlapping apples in the middle of each workpiece. Lubricate them with jam. And grease the dough with yolk.
Place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
Grease the finished buns with jam.

Unleavened dough (phyllo)

We are all familiar with chebureks. Did you know that this type of pies belongs to a great family - burek or burekas. And in this family there is one “negligent relative.” And he’s careless because he’s... sweet. Yes Yes! Bureks are exclusively with unsweetened filling. And only the Greek galaktoboureko somehow became a dessert.

Ingredients:

Puff pastry – 450 g (10 sheets);
Sl. butter – 250 g

For cream:

Semolina – 150-170g;
Milk – 0.5 l;
Sugar – 250 g;
Sl. butter – 50 g;
Eggs – 4 pcs.;
Vanilla.

For the syrup:

Water – 400-450 g;
Sugar – 800 g;
Lemon zest - from 1 pc.;
Honey – 2 tbsp. l.;
Vanillin.

First the syrup is boiled. Pour the dish only with cooled syrup.
Mix all ingredients (except honey) for syrup. Bring to a boil while stirring. When the sugar is completely dissolved, set aside and add honey.
Now you need to prepare the cream:
Separate the yolks from the whites.
Beat egg whites (50g) with sugar until stiff.
Beat 50 g with yolks until thick.
Gradually adding meringue to the yolks, carefully mix everything.
Boil the milk with the rest of the sugar.
While stirring, gradually add semolina and vanilla.
Reduce the heat under the pan and cook until the consistency of thick sour cream.
When the semolina is cooked, remove from the stove and add oil.
Mix semolina and egg mixture. Stir to prevent foam from forming.
Grease a baking sheet with oil.
Gradually lay out 5 sheets of dough, sprinkling them with melted butter.

Interesting! A subtlety like drizzling rather than brushing the sheets with oil makes the dough crispier.

Pour cream onto the dough. And on top are the remaining 4-5 sheets. And again spray them generously.
If there is any oil left, pour it on top, after making small cuts in the top layers of the dough.
Bake for 60 minutes. at 160 degrees.
Pour cold syrup over hot pie and let soak
This is a type of galaktoboureko. Since a real Greek dessert uses a different dough, not filo.

Beat the egg and brush the surface of each rectangle with a pastry brush, leaving 1 cm from the edge (they should remain dry).

Place the chocolate bar in the middle. It is better to take milk chocolate, then the filling will be especially tender.

Main! Step back from the chocolate to the left and right, top and bottom by 0.5 cm.

Now wrap the chocolate in a roll. There is no need to pinch the edges, the chocolate won’t leak out anywhere.

Brush each roll with the remaining egg mixture and sprinkle with granulated sugar.

There is another folding option - as in . I'll copy the photo from the adjacent recipe to show this principle. Only instead of cherries there are pieces of chocolate. To briefly describe the method, it goes like this: roll out the dough into a circle, divide it into equal triangles, put the filling on the wide edge and roll it up, starting from the wide edge.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Grease the baking sheet. We put chocolate rolls on it. And put it in the oven for 25-30 minutes.

So, so that your puff pastry puffs are devoured by all members of your family, prepare a dough that consists of:

half a kilogram of flour; 375 g butter; 250 ml ice water; teaspoon salt and 2 teaspoons sugar

Recipes for baking puff pastry contain step-by-step instructions. I suggest making the puffs like this:

Sift the flour into a bowl and mix it with salt.
Melt 75 g of butter over a fire and cool slightly.
On the contrary, cool the rest of the oil prescribed in the recipe in the refrigerator.
Pour water into the bowl with flour, then butter in a thin stream and begin kneading the dough.
To make puff pastry from yeast-free puff pastry, use cold water and premium flour.
After the dough mass has acquired viscosity, place it on the table and start kneading with your hands until it becomes elastic.
Wrap the dough mixture in cling film and place it on the refrigerator shelf, where it will remain for at least 40 minutes. Consider your time, you can bake the puff pastries the next day, as some recipes call for, and they won’t get any worse.

Place the butter on the table and form it into a square cake 1 cm thick, using a rolling pin to help you.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out into a rectangular shape.
Place the butter on half of the dough, cover it with the other half and start rolling out, moving the rolling pin in one direction, trying to get the dough back into a rectangle.
Divide the rectangle into 3 unequal parts (2/3 in the middle, 1/3 at the edges) and fold it with a booklet from the edges in two steps, you will get 4 layers.
Again, roll out the dough in one direction and repeat folding, maintaining intervals of one hour. During this time, place the dough in the refrigerator, wrapping it in film. The more layers of dough you make, the higher and airier the puff pastries will be in the end.

Recipes, following which you will have baked goods that will delight your loved ones and friends, include the stage of forming the preparations. Today we are preparing puff pastry puffs called “tongues”, that is, these are baked goods without filling. It comes from salty or sweet puff pastry, choose for yourself, focusing on the tastes of your family.

So:

Puff pastries with filling

Puff pastries are filled with a wide variety of fillings. Depending on your taste preferences, use mushrooms, meat, vegetables, jams or boiled condensed milk. But remember, to prevent the puff pastries from spreading in the oven, the filling should not be too wet and hot.

Let's start forming the puffs:

Place the dough on a floured table and roll it out with a rolling pin.
Cut strips of dough 8-9 cm wide, then divide them into squares.
Place the filling on one half of the puff pastry and roll it into a triangle shape. To prevent the edges from coming apart, press them down with a fork. In addition to being durable, your baked goods will look more attractive.
Moisten the baking sheet with water and lay out the puff pastries, keeping a distance between them, because at high temperatures (200 degrees) they will begin to increase in size.
In total, the puff pastries will spend 15-20 minutes in the oven, it all depends on their filling.

If you prepare puff pastries from raw ingredients, their baking time will increase slightly. Keep this in mind when preparing a treat with cottage cheese or fruit. Recipes recommend keeping them in the oven for at least 20 minutes.

Monitor the condition of the baked goods through the oven glass, trying not to open the door at first.
As soon as it turns brown, check the readiness on one copy and take out the puff pastries to cool. The main thing is that the filling does not remain raw.
You can serve dessert puff pastries with any drinks - tea, compote, fruit juice, it all depends on the time of year and your desire.
