Ingredients
Dough Ingredients

- 1 cup Unsalted Butter Use cold, high-fat butter.
- 1/2 cup Cold Water Ice-cold to keep the butter from melting.
Flavor Enhancers

Instructions
Prepare Your Dough
- Start by combining 2 cups of all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl. Then, cut in 1 cup of unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add Water
- Gradually add about 1/2 cup of cold water, mixing until the dough just comes together.
Chill the Dough
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes.
Lamination Technique
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle. Fold it into thirds, like a letter. Repeat this rolling and folding process two more times, chilling the dough for 20 minutes between each fold.
Roll Out Again
- After your final chill, roll the dough out to about 1/4 inch thick.
Add Your Filling
- Place your chosen filling in the center of each pastry shape.
Seal and Egg Wash
- Fold the pastry over the filling and pinch the edges to seal. Brush the tops with an egg wash.
Bake
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Cool and Serve
- Allow your puff pastry dessert to cool slightly before serving.
