"BLITZ" - (QUICK METHOD) HOMEMADE PUFF PASTRY



I learned how to make homemade puff pastry dough, during Laminated Doughs week, while in culinary school; and I found it to be fun, but a very time consuming process due to all of the rolling & folding steps that are required. This particular recipe is the quick method that doesn't require all of the extensive rolling & folding...

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 1/4 oz unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/4 oz cake flour
8 oz unsalted butter (not margarine)
1/2 tsp salt
4 fl oz. very cold water

Steps:

  • 1. Place the all purpose flour in a 2 qt. mixing bowl and sift the cake flour over it. Thoroughly combine the flours either by stirring with a spoon or whisking.
  • 2. Slice 1 ounce of the butter into thin pieces and add it to the bowl. Rub in the butter by hand, squeezing and tossing in the butter until no visible pieces remain.
  • 3. Cut the remaining butter into 1/2 inch cubes. Add the butter cubes to the flour mixture and toss with a rubber spatula just enough to separate and distribute the butter. DO NOT RUB THIS BUTTER INTO THE FLOUR (you want these butter cubes visible).
  • 4. Dissolve the salt in the water. Make a well in the flour & butter mixture and add the water. Using a rubber spatula or your fingers gently draw the flour into the water until all flour is incorporated and the dough is evenly moistened. If needed, add drops of additional water to make sure it is completely moistened. Press and squeeze the dough in the bowl to form a rough ball shape.
  • 5. To turn the dough, first lightly flour the table or surface that you will be working on as well as the dough. Turn the dough out onto the work surface and using the palm of your hand, press down on the dough 3 or 4 times to shape it into a rough rectangle.
  • 6. Press and pound the dough with a rolling pin to form an even rectangle that's about 1/2 inch thick. Roll the dough back and forth along its length once or twice until it is an even rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. At this stage, I found that pieces of the butter started to stick to the work surface. If the dough does start to stick, loosen it with a long spatula or dough scraper. Then clean off the surface to minimize any further sticking.
  • 7. You should now have an even rectangle. Fold both ends of the dough in towards the center, then fold them in toward the center again to make 4 layers. This is called the double book fold. Position the dough so that the "spine" is on the left.
  • 8. Lightly flour the work surface and the dough and repeat the pressing as before (Step 6). Roll the dough along its length as before, then roll it several times along its width to form a rectangle, approximately 6" x 18". Fold the dough into the double book fold just like before (Step 7). Repeat this whole process once more so that the dough ends up having 3 double turns.
  • 9. Wrap the dough well in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour before using. * This dough may be refrigerated for about 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight before using it. NOTE: It's not necessary to work with the entire block of dough when you begin to make pastries out of it. Cut the block into thirds or quarters and work with one portion at a time, while keeping the rest chilled until you're ready to use it.
  • 10. HERE'S A PICTURE OF A FEW OF THE DESSERT PASTRIES THAT I'VE MADE USING PUFF PASTRY. Clockwise from the top: 1) Pinwheel (with raspberry jam center) 2) Vol-au-vent (round shaped filled with pastry cream & fresh sliced strawberries) 3) Butterfly (with cinnamon sugar) 4) Feuilletee (diamond shaped filled with pastry cream)

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ¼ cups cake flour
3 ¾ cups bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons salt
¼ cup white sugar
1 ¼ cups cold butter, cut into tablespoon-sized pieces
1 ¼ cups cold water
1 ½ teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, stir together the cake flour, bread flour, salt and white sugar. Stir in the chunks of butter so that each one is completely coated in flour. Combine the cold water and lemon juice; stir into the bowl while lightly tossing the ingredients to moisten them evenly. Gather the dough into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Keep the edges as square as possible. The dough will look terrible, but don't worry, it will shape up. Fold the dough into thirds like a business letter, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Place the dough on the floured work surface and turn at a 90 degree angle from the last time you rolled it out. Roll again into a rectangle again and fold into thirds. If the dough is still cold and manageable, rotate and roll again, then fold into thirds, or refrigerate and continue in 30 minutes. Finish by rolling the dough out to the size of a baking sheet. Place on a lightly floured baking sheet and wrap in plastic. refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • To use, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into shapes with a sharp knife. Use as directed in recipes calling for puff pastry, or alternatively, enclose desired fillings and bake in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) oven until puffed and golden brown.

Provided by Barbara Rolek

Categories     Appetizer     Breakfast     Brunch     Dessert     Ingredient

Time 3h30m

Yield 25

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups​ (32 ounces) cold unsalted butter
1/2 cups​ all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons salt
1 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Cut the butter into 1/2-inch cubes. Refrigerate until the cubes are chilled and firm.
  • In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add butter, and toss with your fingertips until butter is coated with flour. Add all but about 2 tablespoons of cold water. Mix with a pastry blender or a table fork until an evenly moist but still rough dough forms. Add additional water, if necessary, as you mix the dough if it is not moist enough to hold together when pressed into a ball.
  • Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until butter in dough is firm but not brittle, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface or marble. Roll it into a 12 x 30-inch rectangle approximately 1/2-inch thick.
  • Fold dough in thirds like a letter (this is the first of four 3-folds). Turn dough 90 degrees. Roll dough out again to a rectangle as described above, and fold once more (this is the second of four 3-folds). Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator and, working quickly, continue rolling and folding dough for the third and fourth 3-folds as described above, chilling the dough in between each of these folds for 30 minutes at a time.
  • After completing the final 3-fold, wrap the dough in plastic wrap, and allow it to firm under refrigeration for at least 1 hour before using. The dough will last up to one week in the refrigerator or may be frozen for up to two months.

  • To make the dough using a stand mixer: Using the flat beater attachment, mix the flour and cold butter on low speed until the mixture is unevenly crumbly; the butter cubes will break down somewhat, but you'll see some larger chunks remaining.To make the dough by hand: In a large mixing bowl, press the butter cubes between your fingers and thumbs to create flat butter flakes. Toss the butter flakes with the flour to ensure they’re evenly coated.
  • Mix briefly, just until the dough begins to form a shaggy mass. It should be a bit crumbly (rather than totally cohesive), and small chunks of butter will have remained intact.
  • To roll and fold the dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and fold it over on itself until it comes together; a bench knife or bowl scraper can be a helpful tool here.
