Puff pastry

Well did some delicious puff pastry today, what is puff pastry ? Puff pastry is one of the most remarkable products of the bakeshop. Although it includes no added leavening agent, it can rise to 8 times its original thickness when baked.

Puff pastry is rolled-in dough, like Danish and croissant dough. This means that it is made up of many layers of fat sandwiched in between layers of dough.
