Puff Pastry Dough

  • Add flour to large bowl. Using a grater, grate frozen butter into flour mixture. Gently toss to coat.
  • Add water evenly over butter/flour mixture and stir using fork until incorporated.
  • Form into a large square and wrap in plastic wrap. Allow to chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Remove from refrigerator. Over a floured surface, begin rolling out the dough with a rolling pin, until it forms a large rectangle.
  • Arrange dough with a short side nearest you, then fold dough into thirds like a letter: bottom third up and top third down over dough.
