    For those watching “GNTM” – Heidi Klum would say now “Heute habe ich leider kein Foto für dich!” (I have no picture for you today) ;) Yes weird… the idea behind this is just: I have no typical recipe for you today – no cake no cupcakes, but a basic recipe everybody should know about…

    15-Minute-Puff-Pastry aka. Rough Puff Pastry | Bake to the roots
    15-Minute-Puff-Pastry aka. Rough Puff Pastry | Bake to the roots

    If you ask people that like to cook and bake, what they use in case they need puff pastry – I would say 99% tell you, they get the dough from the supermarket ;) Was the same for me for a very long time. Hardly anybody is in the mood to do puff pastry every day – it is a bit time-consuming – not difficult, but really really time-consuming ;) The rolling and folding and cooling several times takes a couple of hours – I mean you can do other things while the dough is cooling, just not leave the house ;)

    This 15-minute puff pastry (it is also called Dutch puff pastry or rough puff pastry) is – as the name is already saying – done in 15 minutes (working time – cooling time is extra). Ok right, it is not the real “puff daddy”, but pretty close. Good for tarts, quiches, and much more.

    So what is the difference? The ingredients for regular puff pastry and rough puff pastry are the same – flour, salt, water, and butter. The difference is the distribution of the butter inside the dough. The classic puff pastry dough has layers of butter from rolling and folding – 144 to be precise. The rough puff pastry has small flattened pieces of butter distributed through the dough. This makes the difference when baking – the real puff pastry blows up a lot  (the water within the dough turns into steam which is trapped within the layers of butter) – the rough puff pastry also has the air-pockets inside, just not as much, so it will blow up less.

    Here is a small slideshow to show you what you have to do – the recipe itself can be found at the end :)

    Pretty easy, right? Guess there is no more excuse to buy puff pastry from the supermarket – make it yourself! If you need filo dough on the other hand, I will not complain :P

    INGREDIENTS / ZUTATEN

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
    1/4 tsp. salt
    5 oz. (140g) cold butter
    1/3 cup (80ml) ice water

    130g Mehl (Type 405)
    1/4 TL Salz
    140g kalte Butter
    80ml Eiswasser

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch

    1. In a bowl mix flour and salt. Add the butter in small pieces and toss. Use a pastry blender and cut the butter/flour mixture until you get small crumbs – peasize is fine. Add the water and mix in with a fork until the dough starts coming together a bit.

    2. Place the dough (it will be still crumbly) on a floured surface and form into a square – you will see pieces of butter and some spots with flour, but that is fine – it will come together at some point. Flour a rolling pin and press/roll the dough into a long rectangle (about 10 inches/26cm long). Fold the long ends towards the middle, one over the other, so you get a package that is 1/3 of the original size with 3 layers. Rotate that package, so the open side faces towards you and roll out again to a long rectangle. Repeat the folding, rotating and rolling out – all in all 7-8 times. Each time you roll out the dough it gets smoother – use some flour if it starts sticking to the surface or rolling pin.

    3. If your done with the rolling/folding, wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours or overnight. Use it for your favorite puff pastry recipe. You can also freeze the dough and use it some other time if you like.

    1. Mehl und Salz in einer Schüssel vermischen. Die Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und darin schwenken, damit die Butter überall mit Mehl bedeckt ist. Die Butter jetzt mit einem Teigmischer solange bearbeiten/schneiden, bis kleine Krümel entstehen – die Butterstücke sollten maximal Erbsengroß sein. Das Eiswasser zugeben und mit einer Gabel verrühren, bis der Teig langsam anfängt sich zu verbinden.

    2. Den Teig (er wird noch immer recht krümelig sein) auf eine bemehlte Fläche schütten und zu einem rechteckigen Block formen. Man wird immernoch Butterstücke und Flecken mit Mehl sehen können – absolut ok – das wird mit dem Ausrollen alles verschwinden. Das Nudelholz bemehlen und dann den Block zu einem etwa 26cm (10 inches) langen Rechteck ausrollen. Die Enden jeweils zur Mitte einschlagen – es entsteht ein kleines, dreischichtiges Paket mit 1/3 der Größe des ursprünglichen Rechtecks. Das Ganze um 90° drehen, so dass die offene Seite zu einem selbst zeigt. Den Teig jetzt wieder zu einem langen Rechteck ausrollen und wieder zusammenfalten und drehen. Diese Prozedur sollte instesamt 7-8 mal wiederholt werden. Mit jedem mal wird der Teig glatter werden – sollte er irgendwo festkleben, einfach mit etwas Mehl einstäuben.

    3. Wenn alle rollen/falten Durchgänge erledigt sind, sollte der Teig in Plastikfolie eingewickelt werden und für mindestens 1-2 Stunden (oder über Nacht) in den Kühlschrank gelegt werden. Den Teig dann entsprechend des benutzten Rezepts ausrollen und verwenden. Man kann den Teig auch einfrieren und später verwenden.
