Puff Pastry
This originally started with me wanting to make arlettes and palmiers but not really being motivated to buy puff pastry from the store. I got a day off work and decided to give it a try. It turns out to be a lot of fun to do and you get a much better pastry than the store bought one.
You definitely need a french rolling pin for working the butter. Whether or not you need a pastry scrape depends on how hot your kitchen is. It's been a chilli winter for me so I didn't actually use mine.
Puffy pastry is best used the day you make it but you can keep it in a Tupperware container for a few days in the fridge.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Set aside some extra flour for dusting your counter and rolling pin. Also set aside your ice water. Cold tap water is fine.
- 2
Mix the flour with the salt before pouring it out on your counter top. Form a pile.
- 3
Make a trough in the middle of your pile. Sprinkle 1 tbsp of water into the trough and immediately toss the flour lightly by cupping your hands together and using a scooping motion. Gather the flour back into a pile and repeat until a dough that you can pick up and flip over forms. Shape the dough into a square and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. You have made what is commonly referred to as lean dough.
- 4
Cut the butter into chunks, dust with flour, and pound flat with the rolling pin. Gather it up; use a pastry scrapper if necessary. Dust with flour and pound flat again. Repeat this process until the butter is pliable and can be folded without breaking. Shape into a 4’’ x 4’’ square and wrap with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at most 10 minutes.
- 5
Take the lean dough out of the fridge and put the plastic wrap to one side; we will reuse it. Roll the dough out into a 7’’ x 7’’ square. Take the butter square out of the fridge and remove it's plastic wrap. Place it in the middle of the lean dough and orient it so that it's corners are pointing between the corners of the dough. Fold the corners of the dough over the butter so that they meet in the middle. Pinch the seams close.
- 6
Flour the surface where you want to roll the dough out and flip it over so that the seams are down. Flour and roll the dough out so that it is 12'' long and 6'' wide. Fold the top third of the dough down and the bottom third over it as you would fold a letter. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and repeat. Now wrap the dough in plastic wrap you saved and refrigerate for 30 minutes. You have completed what is commonly call 2 turns on the dough.
- 7
Repeat step 6 twice more so that you will have performed a total of 6 turns. After the last turn, refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour. After that, your dough is ready to be used as puffy pastry.

Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry Authentic Homemade Puff Pastry
This puff pastry is a family recipe passed down to me from my mom. Frozen puff pastry is easy to use, but homemade puff pastry is truly delicious.I think it's better to make the crust in a cool place so the butter won't melt. The dough won't come together easily at first, but don't give up. As you continue rolling it out and folding it, it will come together. Recipe by Bulgari angel

Puff Pastry Pizza Puff Pastry Pizza
This is another "clean out your fridge" vegetables puff pastry pizza. If you have been following me, you will know that this recipe is largely inspired by my previous Jamie Oliver's Reverse Puff Pastry Pizza post. You can use any vegetables you have on hands or hidden sadly at the back of your fridge. I am using whatever I can find in my pantry and fridge; leeks, mushrooms, carrot, chili (green and red), tomatoes and even caixin stalks.I tried to make this a vegan dish, but I do not have any vegan cheese left. I am using a combination of mozzarella and feta, again with whatever I have on hands. You can of cos use any cheese you desired. You can also veganize this puff pastry pizza by using vegan cheese and puff pastries.I cannot find canned tomatoes in any grocery store here, not even in major supermarkets. I guess everyone in Singapore decided to make pasta and pizzas during this lockdown period. I decided to make my own tomato sauce. You can, however, opt to skip the whole process if you have canned tomatoes.The local fresh tomatoes are a bit bland. So, I went thru' the trouble of roasting them to add flavors. The same goes to the vegetables I was using. If you have an outdoor grill, perhaps this is the time to fire it up. You can also use a griddle over a stovetop; I am just using a normal skillet. Without much delay, let's get started with the recipe.

I made choux pastry for the first time in ages and it came out tasting really good. Adding almonds to the choux pastry makes it smell so amazing, I really love this recipe. (Makes 12-13 7cm cream puffs)Please get these in the oven as quickly as possible while it's still warm. If you can't get it to pipe out properly put the mixture back in the bowl and keep it heated at an appropriate temperature suspended over a bowl of hot water.Baking time will vary depending on your oven so please adjust it accordingly.(Recipe by nyonta) -

It is easier, tastier and quicker to make your own layered puff pastry dough than thawing out store bought filo dough. And you can use your own natural ingredients, no preservatives or additives or palm oils. And fresh! I use this dough to make fluffier pie crusts, make other desserts, bake meat and chicken in crust, make baklava and spinach pie.

Easy!! Crispy Chocolate Dipped Puff Pastry Easy!! Crispy Chocolate Dipped Puff Pastry
I love Morinaga brand's "Leafy"!! I was thinking if I could make it at home.Poke holes in the pastry. You can put the chocolate on a plate and place it in the oven for 5 minutes after baking the puff pastry. It will melt while preheating (the plate will be hot, so be careful!!) For 10×10cm puff pastry. Recipe by asuka0625
