How to prepare puff pastry

Have you ever thought about making the puff pastry we usually buy at the supermarket at home, but immediately gave up after reading the recipe? It's a basic preparation that requires a lot of time and effort. Today, however, we're sharing a simpler and quicker recipe from Amalia Lamberti Gardan's fascinating cookbook, " Veg e Vegan. Cucina vegetariana e vegana ."

Ingredients

• 400 grams of flour
• 400 g butter
• ¼ l of cold water
• A pinch of salt

Preparation

• Arrange the flour in a fountain shape, place the softened and diced butter in the center, add the salt and pour in the cold water.
• Knead until you obtain a compact and homogeneous dough.
• Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and make four “rounds,” one after the other: a round consists of rolling out the dough into a rectangle that is not too thin and folding it like a book.
• Then repeat the operation four times, pulling the pastry in the opposite direction to the fold made previously and folding it over itself again in three parts.
• Between each turn, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
• Once this operation is complete, roll out the dough into a sheet a few millimeters thick and cut it according to the recipe.
