Blitz Puff Pastry Recipe

Feels weird to be talking about food at a time like this, but here we are! Over the holidays we did some food experiments, including beef wellington. We didn't do a video on the wellington because it was our first stab at it, and we learned some things. So, that will likely be a future video (it did turn out really well). But we also made our own puff pastry, so that's what this video will be about!

This is kind of a cheater recipe for puff. It's not as finicky as regular puff, and is a bit more forgiving overall. It still takes a lot of work, and a lot of rolling/folding/resting, but the end result does come out flaky and delicious. The biggest struggle we had in this was keeping the dough hydrated, it seems like our flour was quite dry. Don't be afraid to add a little water in between the layers (just wet your hand and give it a light coating before folding) and then let it hydrate while it's resting. Also, you need to start this the day before, because it does need to rest overnight before you use it.
