The difficulty in making puff pastry does not lie in exotic ingredients or their myriad quantities. It's just that the numerous rolling of thin layers is so laborious that most housewives prefer to buy this type of dough in the store. After all, today it is yeast and without it.
It is necessary
flour - 3 cups; margarine - 250 g; mayonnaise - 1 tbsp. spoon;, kefir - 1 glass; salt - 1/2 tsp; soda - 1 tsp
Instructions
Step 1
The presented recipe for puff homemade dough is a yeast-free option. First you need to grind or chop (as you like) a frozen pack of margarine (250 g) with three glasses of flour. You will get a fat flour crumb, almost the same as on Napoleon.
Step 2
Next, a tablespoon of mayonnaise, soda, salt in the specified amount is dropped into an empty glass and everything is added to the top with kefir. Stir the contents and pour into the already cooked flour with margarine. You don't need to knead for a long time. More precisely - it is not necessary at all. It is enough to mix the resulting dough with a spoon, collect it later with your hands and give the shape of a bun.
Step 3
We remove the finished dough for half an hour in the freezer and prepare the table for further rolling. For 30 minutes in the freezer, the dough will not have time to freeze to the depth, and this is not necessary. You may need another handful of flour to roll out if the dough sticks a little to the table. After cooling, the dough must be divided into 2 equal parts.
Step 4
The simplicity of the recipe is that you don't need to roll it out very thinly. On the contrary, if you overdo it, the layers will not be particularly noticeable, and baking from them will be rough. Roll out each part of the dough 4-5 mm thick, sprinkle with sugar, then fold it in half so that it is inside. And so several times.
Step 5
If the most sophisticated recipes require repeating this procedure up to 150 times, then 3-5 will be enough here. After rolling out the puff pastry, cut out the cookies from it. You can use figures, but ordinary squares, triangles, rhombuses will not differ in less taste. Bake at 200 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
