Conventional gluten free puff pastry vs. gluten free tough puff pastry

This recipe is for conventional gluten free puff pastry utilizing a chilly butter packet that we wrap in a easy base gluten free pastry dough. It should be rolled and folded a number of instances in what are referred to as “turns,” and chilled after every set of two turns.

Tough puff pastry, also called “fast puff pastry,” is made with a single pastry dough, relatively than two components, that incorporates giant chunks of chilly butter scattered all through gluten free flour. It is laminated, or rolled and folded similarly to how we make layered buttermilk biscuits.

Tough puff pastry creates pretty layers, too. It is just a bit much less elegant and never an excessive amount of simpler than conventional puff pastry like this recipe, which produces virtually infinite layers of flaky pastry.

Learn how to make gluten free puff pastry

There are two components to any puff pastry recipe: the bottom dough and the butter packet. The bottom dough is product of flour, butter, and water. The butter packet is product of butter and flour (however largely butter).

You make every half individually, then mix them right into a single dough. Lastly, you roll out the dough and fold it over on itself a complete of 6 instances, chilling after every set of two rolling-and-folding classes (every referred to as a “flip”).

Learn how to make the bottom dough for puff pastry

The bottom dough is what we use to encase the butter packet. The strategy is similar to making pie crust.

metal mixing bowl with flour and salt, with diced yellow butter mixed in, then in a small round of light tan dough in the bowl then on a gray surface

Start by whisking collectively the all function gluten free flour mix and salt in a big mixing bowl. Add chilly, chopped unsalted butter. Toss the butter within the flour, after which press every of the items of chopped butter flat between your thumb and forefinger.

You may also use a mixing spoon to flatten the butter by urgent it down towards the facet or backside of the bowl. Don’t try and crumble the butter in order that the combination is merely grainy or like sand. You need the butter to remain stable.

Add ice water to the combination till it comes collectively. There should not be any crumbly bits, however the dough additionally shouldn’t be moist. Press the dough right into a disk, wrap tightly, and refrigerate.

Learn how to make the butter packet

The subsequent job is to make the butter packet. It may be a bit trickier because it does take a little bit of apply, however so long as you perceive what your aim is in the long run, you can regulate as you go alongside.

chunks of butter with some flour in one image, pressed together in a square in another

You may start with 2 sticks of chilly unsalted butter, every chopped into 4 chunks of two tablespoons every. Sprinkle some flour on a flat floor, then prepare the chunks of butter right into a grid 2 chunks extensive by 4 chunks.

Sprinkle the highest with extra flour, and start to pound and roll the butter with the aim of flattening the grid and urgent the pats of butter along with each other. You need the butter packet to be chilly, however pliable sufficient to fold over on itself a minimum of as soon as so you possibly can press and roll it out right into a 4-inch sq..

The butter will heat as you deal with it, and turn out to be a bit sticky. That is to be anticipated. Simply sprinkle frivolously with extra flour anyplace it turns into sticky and proceed to work.

If the butter begins to really feel greasy, cowl it and refrigerate it till it companies up, then proceed to form it. When you might have the correct form, cowl and refrigerate the packet till it feels agency however not laborious.

Learn how to mix the bottom dough and the butter packet

As soon as each the components, the bottom dough and the butter packet, have been shaped and refrigerated till agency however not laborious, it is time to mix them. The aim right here is to layer the dough each above and beneath the butter for a stack of three layers, like a butter sandwich.

Light tan disk of dough on light tan pastry board sprinkled with flour, rolled out into a square, with flat yellow butter square on top

First, roll out the chilled base dough into an roughly 6-inch sq.. Then, place the butter packet on within the heart, and use a pointy edge like a bench scraper or a knife to attain the outlines of the butter packet on high of the dough.

Take away the butter packet to the facet, and you will have a 6-inch sq. base dough with the define of the butter packet within the heart. It may possibly make the following steps simpler in the event you place and rating the butter packet at a forty five° angle to the bottom dough, as if it had been a diamond on high of a sq..

Light tan round pastry board with rolled out dough with flat yellow butter square on top, and then dough wrapped around butter

Subsequent, roll out the 4 edges of the bottom dough from every of these rating marks out, then place the butter packet again on high, once more at that 45° angle. Use the rolled out dough to wrap it across the butter packet, fulling enclosing the butter within the dough. The flaps of base dough will overlap each other.

Everytime you’re rolling out the dough, both now or in the course of the lamination (rolling and folding) course of described beneath, hold it transferring and sprinkle the floor, dough, and even rolling pin frivolously with flour to stop sticking.

Learn how to laminate, or roll and fold, the puff pastry dough

The ultimate step within the course of is lamination, or the rolling and folding of the mixed base dough and butter packet. This system is what creates layers of alternating flour and dough that multiply as you go on.

Butter temperature stays crucial all through, since we do not ever need the butter to soften into the dough. If the butter is not stable between the layers of dough, it will not develop within the oven, which is what creates the flaky layers that make puff pastry so pretty.

Light tan dough rolled into a rectangle on light tan pastry board, folded in thirds, then rolled out again and folded in thirds again with 4 knuckle markings

Every time you roll out the mixed base dough and butter packet right into a rectangle, then fold it on itself from each side in thirds, as if it had been a enterprise letter, is known as one “flip.” You’ll be able to refrigerate the dough after every “flip” to make sure that the butter stays stable, but it surely’s simply as efficient to finish the turns in pairs and refrigerate for half-hour in between every set.

The whole variety of turns required to create lots of of layers of dough and butter is 6. If these turns are accomplished in pairs, you may chill the mixed dough for half-hour after turns 1 and a couple of, half-hour after 3 and 4, and half-hour extra after turns 5 and 6. After the ultimate half-hour, the dough needs to be rolled into no matter thickness it’s essential use the puff pastry.

In case you do not intend to make use of the puff pastry quickly after the ultimate “flip,” don’t full all 6 turns. Cease after the 4th flip, wrap the dough tightly and refrigerate it till about 1 hour earlier than you want to make use of it. While you’re prepared, take away the wrapped dough from the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes or till you possibly can roll it with out the dough cracking, and proceed with the ultimate 2 turns.

Learn how to hold observe of the variety of turns accomplished

It is easy to lose observe of the variety of turns which were accomplished. The primary two turns occur proper after you have mixed the bottom dough and butter packet, however after that it could actually get complicated. I discover it is very helpful to mark the dough after every 2 turns with a floured knuckle with one mark for every of the finished turns.

So, after the primary 2 turns, your dough can have 2 knuckle marks. After the second 2, 4 marks. That manner, in the event you select to finish the ultimate 2 turns later, you will not need to depend on excellent reminiscence to make certain you are not over-rolling.

What occurs in the event you full greater than 6 turns?

After 6 turns, you may have actually lots of of layers because the variety of layers multiplies exponentially. At that time, there are diminishing returns from extra lamination. The dough tends to get compressed and the butter layers too skinny to truly develop within the oven. The dough will nonetheless be flaky, however a lot much less so.

Suggestions for making excellent gluten free puff pastry

Maintain the components chilly

In pastry-making, the butter is stored chilly earlier than going into the recent oven. Like ice, when butter is chilly, it contracts or is made smaller. When it’s heated rapidly, like in an oven, it expands. When the butter is in lots of, many layers, and is surrounded on each facet by the dough, it pushes out the dough and creates all these flaky layers we love.

Bigger items of butter can heat, however as soon as chilled will regain their unique form, relatively than melting into the encircling dough. In case you attempt to form the butter packet when the butter is rock stable, you may discover it virtually inconceivable to form.

In case you start with barely hotter butter in creating the packet, you possibly can form it as you want, after which chill it till it is agency. It’ll then retain its correct form throughout the remainder of the shaping—and through baking.

How the layers of gf puff pastry multiply, and why they should be chilly

After that first “flip,” the tripled dough is made up of three layers of butter surrounded in alternating style by 6 layers of dough. When the turns are repeated between 4 and 6 instances, the layers multiply exponentially.

Troubleshooting gluten free puff pastry

In case you’ve by no means made a so-called laminated pastry, gluten free or standard, it may be very helpful to have a couple of objectives in thoughts as you learn by way of the recipe after which start your work. Listed here are a few of these concepts:

Maintain your gluten free puff pastry from cracking

Is your dough cracking both as you wrap it across the butter packet, or after the primary flip? It is too chilly! Let it heat up simply sufficient to make it pliable (however not a lot that the butter melts)

How do take care of sticky gluten free pastry dough

This recipe begins with absolutely the minimal quantity of all function gluten free flour blends in each the gf pastry dough and the butter packet. As you roll the dough, you might discover that some butter breaks by way of and is uncovered. Simply sprinkle frivolously with extra gf flour, and hold rolling!

What to do whenever you gf puff pastry is just too laborious to deal with

You may discover that the recipe requires frequent refrigeration of the gf puff pastry dough after every step. In case your dough is troublesome to deal with, you most likely simply rushed a kind of steps, so pop the dough again within the fridge and start once more.

Making gluten free puff pastry upfront

Making puff pastry would not require a ton of energetic time, however since first the two components after which the assembled dough should be refrigerated a number of instances in the course of the course of, it could actually total be time consuming.

It is helpful to have the ability to make the dough forward of time, and that may completely be executed. It simply requires some planning. As soon as you have completed all of the turns, your gf puff pastry is prepared for use.

In my expertise, rolled out and accomplished gluten free puff pastry would not freeze properly because it tends to crack whenever you lastly work with it. As well as, you often find yourself having to roll and fold it, primarily finishing an additional flip or two, earlier than you possibly can roll it into its supposed form. That results in compressed layers.

However you possibly can nonetheless make puff pastry dough now even in the event you do not plan to make use of it instantly. There are two methods you possibly can deal with that:

Form the puff pastry into its last kind

If you understand how you intend to make use of the puff pastry, full all 6 turns, chill for half-hour, after which roll the dough into its last kind. That may be a 5-inch sq. for use to make an open tart. It may be as a turnover that you just fill, seal, and freeze.

Wrap the formed dough tightly and you’ll freeze it for about 3 months. Bake it from frozen, including a pair minutes onto baking time.

Solely full 4 “turns”

If the dough has solely been rolled and folded by way of the 4th flip, you possibly can mark the variety of turns within the dough, wrap it tightly and refrigerate it for about 5 days or freeze it for as much as 3 months.

Then, whenever you’re almost prepared to make use of it, let it sit at room temperature till you possibly can roll the dough easily, with out cracks, and full the ultimate 2 turns. Refrigerate for half-hour, and roll the dough into its supposed form and bake it.

Gluten free puff pastry ingredient notes

Selecting the best gluten free flour mix

It is comprehensible to suppose {that a} recipe that requires an “all function gluten free flour” will work with any all function gluten free flour. Sadly, that’s by no means the case, as some blends merely aren’t good. They are often poorly balanced, have gritty rice flour, or simply different poor high quality or pointless components.

On this recipe, as in all my pastry recipes, you should utilize any of my advisable all function gf flour blends, specifically Higher Batter basic mix gluten free flour or Cup4Cup gluten free flour (or both of my “mock” blends of every). Cup4Cup works notably properly right here, because it’s balanced most like a pastry flour itself.

I nonetheless get emails from readers who’re very pissed off with a recipe, telling me they adopted the recipe “to a T” and that it failed. They’re offended! However most of the time, they used a flour mix that simply will not work, like GFJules or Bob’s Crimson Mill gf blends.

Unsalted butter

Since butter is the star of the gluten free puff pastry present, attain for good high quality butter at any time when doable. Maintain your butter chilly, however not so chilly that it has sharp edges.

The trick is rarely to let the butter really soften or turn out to be greasy, however to work with it when it is considerably pliable. Then, when dealing with the butter and the dough start to heat it up, the puff pastry dough goes again within the fridge to sit back till agency once more.

Water

To keep away from any disagreeable tastes out of your water, attempt utilizing filtered water (not spring water and positively not glowing water). And ensure it has been chilled with ice (however add the ice after you have measured the water, because the ice would not depend within the quantity measurement).

The quantity of ice water you may find yourself utilizing is determined by many components, which is why I present a variety within the recipe. In case you use a starchier mix, like Cup4Cup, or if the air in your kitchen is dry and/or chilly, you might want a bit extra water.

All the time add water slowly, since you possibly can all the time add extra however you possibly can’t take it out. In case you do add an excessive amount of water, you possibly can rescue the dough by including a bit extra gluten free flour mix, however you do not need to chase your tail by including an excessive amount of water, then an excessive amount of flour because the ingredient ratios will change.

Gluten free puff pastry substitutions

Gluten free, dairy free puff pastry dough

If you would like to attempt making this recipe dairy free, I counsel changing the unsalted butter with vegan butter. Soften and Miyoko’s Kitchen are my favourite manufacturers, however they’re softer than butter so I am unable to promise they will create the exact flaky layers all of us love! Make sure to not use Cup4Cup if it’s essential be dairy-free, because it incorporates milk powder.
