Frequently asked questions about puff pastry.
Puff pastry is a special kind of dough that is made by layering it with a fat such as butter. The result is a 'flaky' dough.

Tips for making puff pastry rolls.
If your pastry is frozen, it is a good idea to allow it to thaw to room temperature first (about a half hour). This is because frozen puff pastry tends to crack.
More helpful tips for you.
- Before you unroll the pastry sheet, prep your work surface with a small amount of dusted flour. This will help keep the pastry from sticking to the surface when you roll it up. I actually like to use parchment paper as my work surface as it makes transferring and clean up so much easier to do!
- When rolling up your puff pastry, try to do this as tightly as possible for a better and more uniform shape. You can do this by rolling the pastry slowly and making sure that the ends and center are all rolled evenly.
- Prepare this recipe in advance and bake it later. Simply roll the pastry as directed into a log and cover with plastic kitchen wrap before freezing. Then, when you are ready to bake it, thaw the log overnight in your refrigerator before slicing it and baking as directed.
