Quick Puff Pastry

Category: Recipes

ingredients
4 cups flour, more as needed
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 pound unsalted butter, cold, cut in tablespoon sized pieces
3/4 cup cold water

directions
Combine the flour, salt, and butter in a bowl. Using a pastry cutter, cut the butter into crumbs.

Stir in the cold water slowly, adding just enough for the dough to come together. Do not overmix it.

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Roll the dough into a 9x12 rectangle. Add flour as needed to keep the dough from sticking.

Fold the dough in thirds then rotate it a quarter turn. Roll the dough out again into the rectangle shape. Again, fold it in thirds.

Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.

Return the dough to the work surface and roll it out again into the rectangle and repeat the folding and rolling process one more time. Chill the dough again for 1 hour before using.
