The secrets of successful puff pastry with yeast

At the same time, after each rolling, the dough should be given a break, otherwise tearing of the layers is inevitable. This method is more suitable for a professional kitchen, where it is easier to keep the recommended temperature than in an apartment.

At home during the break between the rolls, place the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour. If this is not done, the oil is absorbed into the mass, and it does not exfoliate. At the same time, be careful, the cooled puff pastry becomes brittle and crumbles easily.

When baking, the oven should be heated to 220-240 ° C, otherwise your product will turn out weakly layered and dry. This is because when the temperature is insufficient, the oil flows out of the baked product.

Classic recipe with photos

The list of ingredients required for the preparation of puff yeast dough:

We put the oil between two sheets of wrapping paper, roll it up to the plate shape, then put it in the fridge, and remove it a quarter of an hour before further processing of the dough.

On the ball of dough, you must make two cuts, a cross on the cross, a depth of about three centimeters. Stretch to make a square. Sprinkle with flour the resulting layer, and roll up to one centimeter in thickness.


Place the prepared butter on one side, fold the free dough 1/3. Extra flour will need to shake off. The remaining edge of the dough with open butter is also wrapped 1/3 over the first turn.


Press the edges harder so that they grab.


Put the resulting rectangle in length from yourself and press it with a rolling pin to distribute the oil as evenly as possible. Again roll out the dough to one centimeter. Do it pretty quickly, so that the workpiece does not have time to heat up, otherwise a rupture is inevitable.

Mentally divide the rolled dough into three parts, bend the first one to the second, and cover the third from above.

Important! Constantly get rid of excess flour, such as a brush. The resulting billet for one hour, put in the fridge.

After an hour, place the dough in front of you so that the layers are directed towards you. Roll the layer up to one centimeter thick, and repeat the folding and cooling procedure for one hour.

This technique will have to be done two more times in a row. Each time the rolling will be more difficult, you will have to act quickly and with extreme caution so as not to tear the thin layers.

Immediately before the acquisition, it is advisable to carefully examine the composition and make sure that the sale of goods has not expired.

  1. All movements are carried out only in one direction and with a uniform load on the rolling pin. Only then the layer will be smooth and complete.
  2. First on canvas yeast free dough  put the softened butter or margarine, fold the edges of the envelope and gently roll out in an equilateral rectangle.
  3. The next step is to connect the opposite sides of the reservoir in the center, pinch it, fold it twice inwards with a suture and send it in a cold place for half an hour.
  4. Then the procedure is repeated again and the semi-finished product is sent to the cold again.
  5. At the third stage, the dough is rolled into a flat layer, rolled up into four and once again left in the refrigerator for half an hour. Only after all these procedures, you can proceed to the formation of baking and filling filling.


Tip: Before kneading puff yeast dough, all necessary ingredients  need to remove from the refrigerator and leave for 1 hour on the kitchen table. During this time they will acquire the same room temperature and the dough will turn out soft, elastic and tender.

Homemade puff yeast dough is quite possible to prepare for future use. To prefabricate well preserved and not absorbed extraneous odors, it is necessary to roll it into wide layers, fold it in half, then four times, very tightly wrap it in plastic wrap, firmly tie the edges of the polyethylene and send it in the freezer.
