It is not difficult to buy ready-made puff yeast dough. Almost any supermarket sells frozen dough from various manufacturers. It is possible to prepare many delicious and varied dishes from it.
Puff pastry sweet dishes
Purchased puff pastry provides a huge scope for practicing culinary skills at home. Sweet pastries are especially successful from it. A few simple recipes will help diversify the table of loved ones and delight them with delicious sweets.
First of all, yeast puff pastry is ideal for baking pies with a variety of fillings. For the filling, fried walnuts mixed with condensed milk, various fruits cut into pieces and sprinkled with sugar, jams and more are suitable. The puff pastry is divided into several layers and cut into squares. In the middle of each, the prepared filling is laid out and a pie is formed by carefully pinching the edges. The product must be greased with an egg on top in order to exclude shedding of the dough during baking and to give a golden hue.
Puff pastry cookies are very tasty. To do this, again, the layer of dough is divided into several layers, greased with oil, sprinkled with sugar and rejoined. Next, future cookies are cut with a knife and baked. And if you just bake the sheets of dough in the oven, and then smear with sweet cream and combine, you get a delicious cake similar to the well-known "Napoleon".
Snack baked goods
In addition to sweet dishes from puff yeast dough, you can bake various snacks with hearty fillings. The fillings can be varied in every way and, as a result, you can get completely different flavor combinations. The principle of preparing such baked puff pastry tartlets is quite simple. The dough is divided into layers and cut into equal squares. The filling is placed on the center and the corners are pinched in the center of the product, leaving open areas. This method of shaping during baking allows you to get a very beautiful product that resembles a half-opened flower. To prepare the filling, various combinations of ingredients are taken: vegetables, boiled eggs, onions and much more. To tie the products so that the filling does not spill out, in most cases grated cheese is added. From above, such a product is also coated with a beaten egg before baking.
You can also make a closed pie from puff yeast dough. For this, the dough is divided into two layers. One is smeared with mayonnaise and ketchup, the existing filling is laid out in even layers, the top is covered with a second layer of dough and the edges are pinched. The cake is pierced in several places with a fork and baked.
