Semi‑fast puff pastry

Recipe by Once Upon a Time Pastry

A puff pastry halfway between the traditional and the quick version. It uses a dough base, very cold butter and several turns without intermediate resting time, to achieve a light and crispy layering in under two hours of preparation.

Critical Success Points

  • Do not over‑mix the dough so that the butter remains in visible pieces.
  • Keep butter and dough at the same temperature (cold) before each turn.
  • Observe the refrigeration resting times to prevent the butter from melting.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the knife carefully when cutting the butter.
  • Use gloves or a cloth to handle the very cold dough to avoid frostbite.
