California Farm Coconut Puff Pastry Filo Dough

Some fresh pastry dough ingredients like butter, milk and eggs dont freeze well or long, but I like to make an large batch of puff pastry dough and keep the extra in the freezer. So I use water and solid frozen coconut oil instead, rasped or grated.

The weight of the ingredients and the preparation method has to be accurate. Digital Kitchen scales now have setting for grams. ( kitchen scales are under ten dollars at wallmart or on amazon). This recipe has both grams and ounces.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
