How To Make Perfect Puff Pastry Dough By Hand

[@alasdairyoung1567]

Hands down, probably the best puff pastry guide on KZbin. I've been a professional baker & confectioner for over 30 years and other than using a few machines to make life easier, this is exactly how I make my puff 👍

INGREDIENTS: 2.5 cups (320g) all purpose flour 3/4 cup (177g) cold water 1 tsp (7g) fine sea salt 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp (227g) unsalted cold butter

[@caleflynn8536]

I’ve been a chef for over 15 years and because of your videos I’ve got an incurable passion for baking now. Never really cared for it before, but after watching the sourdough starter and the baguette recipes I’m fucking hooked now. Looking forward to seeing some more of your recipes in the future. Keep up the good work bud.

[@JoshuaWeissman]

Cale Flynn so incredibly happy to read this! Thank you!

[@gerardjones7881]

chefs are supposed to learn to bake first, then cooking is a breeze. I was told to get 2 yrs as a pastry chef then go into cooking. 50 years later I retired from pastry, cooking was boring by comparison. I make the same puff dough in 60 minutes start to finish, thats the difference being trained. and we don't roll dough on cutting boards like girly men.

[@Moon-oc3uw]

@@gerardjones7881 I think it’s a good idea to cook first then do baking to help keep you entertained by cooking and baking then you go back to cooking rinse and repeat until your retire

How many "hot pockets" do you think I could make with this recipe?

[@evasandoval6809]

I stumbled on this recipe while preparing to make New Year's Eve dinner, and I tried it because I liked your style - no faff, just true love for the art of cooking. It was my first time making puff pastry dough, and it was such a success I wanted to thank you personally! Absolutely delicious.

[@pique-nique]

I have made this puff pastry 4 times. It is simple and delicious. I use it for sausage rolls and tarts. I especially love the tip about how to get the dough and butter into square shapes. I use that tip every time. I love tips like that! Thank you, chef! Thank you, thank you.

Do you think this recipe will be good for mince/steak pies?

[@groyperfuhr4871]

@@kylepask4989 I think puff pastry gets too soggy for something that's sauced. it's a little different with fruit sauces since they get a bit like jelly. I'd just use pie crust or mashed potatoes.

I'm currently following your recipe for the top of a homemade beef pie that I'm making tomorrow. I've done two folds so far. I have to say thank you for actually using grams with your measurements. My father was a pastry chef/baker and he always taught me to use grams especially with flour so I can't stand recipes with only cup measurements. Looking forward to see how it turns out :)

[@rainskitchenandgarden]

Thanks for the recipe and the great tip about the wax paper! I'm on fold number 3 now, making mille feuilles tomorrow, first time making puff pastry. It's so much easier than I thought it would be.! The last time I ate the frozen store-bought puff pastry, all I could taste was canola oil...that motivated me to find a recipe and I'm so happy I found your video.

Hi Joshua as a cooking aficionado in my country, a lot of stuff is pre made or difficult to find, your channel achieves the goal of making people try to do new stuff, if somebody told me what I would've been cooking I couldn't never believe them.

[@mikesibert1723]

I watched the wax paper part several times before commenting. If you choose to use wax paper for the rolling of the squares parts I suggest flouring dough ball heavily before wrapping in paper and definitely don't rest in fridge in paper. I used name brand and the paper got soaked and would not come off dough. Just flour dough and roll out to a 7x7 square. Wrap in plastic wrap and fridge for a rest.

There was a time when I would never be caught dead in the kitchen... but today I am trying out this specific dough. Why this dough and not something "easier"? Because I wanna! If this marks the beginning of a long adventure cooking for me... then I have you to thank good sir for inspiring it!

[@hansvonheileger5791]

SO! My very first attempt I thought was a failure because of issues with my dough and me being an absolute newb at baking in general. Despite that I thought it best to push through and bake the pastry so I can also taste test and learn more. Turns out I did NOT fail, and it was in fact a surprising success. I def still have many things to improve for batch #2, like rolling the dough thinner, which will then be turned into Hot Pockets!
