How do you make the puff pastry?
Sieve about 200 grams of flour and keep the rest for when you start rolling the dough. Add the salt and butter to the flour. This butter must be cold and will therefore have to be divided into several pieces with a knife. Knead everything well with your hands or a mixer until you have a smooth mass. It is a tough job if you get started with your hands! Sprinkle some flour over the whole thing and over the board where dough will be rolled out. Now start rolling out the dough and lightly sprinkle some more flour over it. If a firm patch has formed, it is wise to pick up the dough at a few points and then roll it out again. The folds that arise when picking up points must be rolled up first ?? turn into. To get a good whole, this action must be repeated several times.
When the dough is folded for the last time, it should rest in the refrigerator for a while. Take more than half an hour for this and then repeat the unrolling and folding a few more times. Finally, the dough must now rest in the refrigerator for more than half an hour. Then it is ready for editing.
