Filled puffs

Puffs are filled with a variety of different fillings. Depending on your taste preferences, use mushrooms, meat, vegetables, jams or boiled condensed milk. But remember, so that the puffs do not spread in the oven, the filling should not be too wet and hot.

We begin to form puffs:

2. Cut the dough into strips 8-9 cm wide, then divide them into squares.
3. Put the filling on one half of the puff and roll it into a triangle shape. To prevent the edges from sticking, press them down with a fork. Besides the fact that your pastries will be durable, they will become more attractive.

5. In total, the puffs will spend 15-20 minutes in the oven, it all depends on their filling.

If you are making puffs raw foods, then their baking time is slightly increased. Keep this in mind when preparing a treat with cottage cheese or fruit. Recipes recommend keeping them in the oven for at least 20 minutes.

• Monitor the state of baking through the glass of the oven, trying not to open the door at first.
• As soon as it is reddened, check the readiness on one copy and take out the puffs to cool. The main thing is that the filling does not remain raw.
• You can serve dessert puffs with any drinks - tea, compote, fruit juice, it all depends on the season and your desire.

IN step by step photo recipe we will tell you how to make quick sweet puffs stuffed with bananas and strawberries.

Sweet pastry puffs

Ingredients:

• 500 g ready-made puff pastry (yeast-free),
• 200 g strawberries (fresh or frozen)
• 1-2 bananas
• 1 st. a spoonful of starch
• 2 tbsp. spoons of granulated sugar,
• 1 egg for greasing puff pastries,
• Wheat flour for dusting the work surface.

Cooking process:

If you have ever bought ready-made yeast-free puff pastry, you probably noticed that its packaging is different, as well as the contents. Manufacturers offer frozen dough in a roll or square layers. The latter option is easier to work with, since it takes less time to defrost it. Frozen plates must be separated from each other and laid out on the table. After 10 minutes you can start working.

In the meantime, you can work on the filling and preheat the oven.

Fresh strawberries are sorted, washed and chopped into large pieces. Frozen strawberries do not need to be thawed specifically so that they do not become sour. Banana is cut into cubes or circles.

Sugar and starch are added to the filling. The starch will thicken the syrup that comes out of the berries and keep it in baking to the maximum.

Dust a work surface with flour and roll out lightly. soft dough. Cut it into long rectangles. You can use a special roller for chebureks.

We lay the filling on one half, retreating from the edge, and cover with the second half.

The edges need to be pinched very well so that all the juice remains inside and does not run away. We put the puffs on a greased or paper-lined baking sheet, grease with a loose egg and immediately send to bake. Immediately, because there is no need to waste time rising and proofing, the dough is not yeast. If desired, you can make cuts on each rectangular pie.

Preheat the oven in advance, bake puff pastry products at a temperature of 180 degrees. The top of the dough will change shade, the layers on the sides of the products will become clearly visible.

Congratulations, you have learned how to bake excellent puffs for tea without unnecessary troubles! In the same way, you can cook sweet puffs with cottage cheese, apples, cherries, as well as unsweetened ones with cheese, ham, minced meat, salted cottage cheese.

We remove the pastries from the baking sheet to a wide dish and boil the kettle.

Or serve in portions, with berries. By the way, a scoop of ice cream would be quite appropriate here.

In addition, you can cook from puff pastry, buns with sausages and delicious fast pizza, this time can be used both without yeast dough, and yeast.

Puff pastry pizza

The rolled out layer of puff pastry is placed on a greased vegetable oil a baking sheet, spread with ketchup and mayonnaise (or just ketchup), lay out pieces of boiled chicken, sausages or sausages, pour grated cheese (or simply lay it out in pieces). You can bake! For color, you can add chopped olives, sweet bell pepper or pickled cucumber.

We thank Svetlana Kislovskaya for the photo recipe for puffs.

Greetings dear hostesses, I have not written for a long time. We were on holiday with the whole family and had a great time. We arrived home and wanted to bake something for my guys. So I thought that puff pastry makes very tasty pastries. But how to make puff pastry at home?

There was a time when I just bought it in the store, as many do now. Well, it's convenient. I wanted to go and buy. I thought it was very difficult to do it, no one from my acquaintances did it, they then scared them saying it was hard and not real.

But I decided on my own and in fact, there is nothing complicated. Only sometimes I call my husband to help roll out 😆 .

Today we will analyze a few recipes and secrets for making puff pastry.

This the most common variant of its preparation. I want to make a reservation right away, do not just try to follow the recipe, look at your feelings and rely on your experience. That's the problem:

In sweet puff pastry without yeast, the number of eggs depends only on the hostess's preference. In this volume, it can be from 0 to 4.

Oil volume is also subjective.

Everything will depend only on the quality of the batch and compliance with certain cooking rules.

Ingredients used:

• 3 cups flour, premium.
• 300 g butter. Butter is better than spread or margarine.
• 2 eggs.
• 3/4 cup of water.
• 3/4 teaspoon salt.
• Citric acid, on the tip of a knife.

Here's how to make puff pastry at home:

Step 1.

Puff pastry consists of 2 parts: Flour and butter. First thing sift the flour. After that 6 tablespoons set aside for the buttery part of the dough.

Mug sieve, handy thing

Step 2.

The next step is very simple. kneading the dough. In flour break eggs, add salt and citric acid, pour out the water and quickly knead a smooth dough.

Properly kneaded dough takes any shape and does not stick to the table and hands.

Cooked dough leave on the table for 30 minutes covered with something.

making flour dough

Step 3.

While the dough is standing, make the butter portion. For this Finely chop the butter with flour until you get a crumb. Now we sculpt butter dough .

We try to roll into square shape about 1 cm thick. Make it fast before the butter melts too much. After rolling, put in the refrigerator.

making butter dough

Step 4

Now we take the flour part and roll out 2 times more than the oil part. At the same time, it is necessary better stretched edges, we will wrap them.

We wrap something like this, an envelope

Step 5

Now we take the oil part, and wrap it in the flour part like an envelope. The resulting envelope is rolled out to a thickness of about 1 cm, even a little more.

It is better to roll out more in length. Now you need roll the dough into 3 or 4 parts. Here at your discretion. Now this pie refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Rolling options for puff pastry

Step 6, step 7....

Now the cycle "roll out, fold, keep in the refrigerator" repeat several times. How many times, you ask? The quality of your dough depends on the number of layers. The more, the more magnificent and higher it will rise.

The dough is considered correct, in which at least 100 layers, experienced and persistent housewives bring the dough up to 500 layers.

Here's how to make puff pastry at home. Now for some arithmetic. Let's make 100 layers. If we make 4 folds to the maximum, then we get 4 layers at a time. So you need to loop 25 times to get 100 layers.

In the refrigerator, we have the dough for 15 minutes and it takes about 5 minutes to roll out. This means that for 100 layers it should take us about 8.5 hours.

Quite laborious, but the result is worth it. Homemade puff pastry is much tastier than store bought.

From such a dough, we can do anything: Napoleon cake, puffs, tongues, strudels and much more.

Yeast puff pastry

It is not uncommon for some housewives to make puff pastry with the addition of yeast. Now let's answer the question of how to make puff pastry at home with yeast.

This dough is made faster, and it turns out softer and not crumbly. I use this dough mostly for pies.

Ingredients used:

1. 1 glass of milk.
2. 2 cups of flour.
3. 1 tablespoon of sugar.
4. 1 tablespoon flour.
5. 1 teaspoon dry yeast.
6. 1 egg.
7. 200 g butter (1 pack). It is butter, not spread.

Now we will analyze the process of how to make puff pastry at home correctly.

Step 1.

To make the yeast work faster, I do this. I warm up the milk to keep warm, pour into a separate deep bowl and there add a teaspoon of dry yeast and stir until dissolved.

mix dry yeast with warm milk

Step 2

When dry grains swell, there add flour, salt and sugar. Mix and send the resulting porridge to the most warm place in the house for 40 minutes.

The dough is ready when the surface begins to wrinkle. This is a sign that the maximum volume has been reached and the dough is ready to fall.

the dough has risen

Step 3

It's about time add the rest of the products and knead the dough. Making an elastic bun. His leave for 30-40 minutes so that it doubles in size.

Step 4

We take out the butter in advance so that it is warm. Roll out the dough into a rectangle.

roll out a rectangle

Step 5.

something like this smear with oil and fold

Now spread the oil all over. Dough fold into an envelope and roll out again. After fold in 3 layers and roll again. Approximately 30 layers are considered the norm. So the procedure is repeated about 9 times.

puff pastry

Many are tormented by the question of which dough is better to make, which is easier, and so on. In fact, it all depends on what result you want to get. To do this, we have compiled a small comparative table.

Yeast	Without yeast
The number of layers is from 30 to 120.	from 100 to 500
Finished products are softer	drier and more crumbly
Products are not so layered, but juicy	Bright expression of the layers, dry, clearly visible on the cut
There is a pleasant sour smell when baking.	Without smell
Need extra time for the rise of yeast, dough	Extra time to chill the dough in the refrigerator
Suitable for baking juicy stuffing(cream, jam, minced meat), pizza is especially good.	For baking brushwood, tongues, croissants, cakes, especially "Napoleon".

The application of this or that test is extensive, so it all depends on what you want to cook. There are no cons anywhere, except that it takes a lot of time to prepare the dough. But it's worth it.

The process of preparing the dough is that the unleavened or yeast dough is covered with oil and the resulting "sandwich" is rolled out many times to get a layered texture. The more layers, the more magnificent the puffs will turn out, since the oil evaporates in the oven, due to which the layers are separated from each other by a layer of air. In this case, you need to roll out the dough in a thin layer and make sure that it does not tear, periodically cooling it in the refrigerator. After that, puffs are formed from the dough, filled with filling and baked in the oven. From yeast dough, pastries are soft and tender, and from unleavened dough- crispy and brittle. Making puff pastry is a complex and virtuoso process, which you can still master on your own if you really want to.

For delicious puff pastry, choose flour with a high gluten content - these are Extra, Krupchatka, the highest and first grade. It is desirable to sift the flour. Take water not ice-cold, but cold, while some housewives replace part of the water with milk or add only one milk - it turns out delicious, but the dough loses its elasticity. The dosage of salt is also important, since if it is lacking, the dough layers can blur. To improve elasticity, culinary experts advise to drip a few drops of vinegar or lemon juice when kneading.

Using butter or butter margarine is a matter of personal preference. Of course, it tastes better with butter, but modern baking margarine with a high melting point is also suitable for puffs, because it turns out especially air baking. But you should not use spread and cheap butter surrogates for dough. Before working with the dough, the butter is usually cooled without freezing, otherwise thin dough breaks when rolled.

How to roll out the dough correctly

First, all the ingredients indicated in the recipe are mixed, while the yeast is added at the very end. While the dough rests for 30-40 minutes under a towel or cling film, the butter is mixed for plasticity with a small amount of flour, then a rectangular layer is formed from it, which is placed in the refrigerator. After that, a layer is rolled out of the dough, butter is put in the middle, the ends of the dough are lifted and pinched at the top with an envelope.

You can cut the dough into squares, and put a little filling on top, you can cut the rectangles obliquely and make bagels. If you roll rectangular layers into rolls, cut in half, make small cuts in the center and turn the rolls outward, you will get puff curls. Puffs in the form of roses and croissants, rectangular and figured pies, envelopes and baskets with stuffing look very nice.

Before putting the puffs in the oven, their top is smeared with yolk for color, but it is better not to grease the edges of the products, otherwise they will become hard. The puffs are placed on a cool baking sheet covered with baking paper, rest for a few minutes (no more, otherwise the oil will flow) and put in the oven, heated to 180-240 ° C, depending on the recipe. At a lower baking temperature, the dough will not rise well and the butter will melt, resulting in flat puffs without a layered texture. If you bake them at a very high temperature, the puffs will brown quickly, but the inside will remain raw.
