Interesting fact

Frozen puff pastry is a great lifesaver for many housewives. It will always help when you need to quickly prepare puffs with various fillings, pies and even a cake.

Busy housewives especially like ready-made puff pastry, as it takes a long time to cook homemade puff pastry, and they always have little time, and at the same time, relatives are constantly waiting for delicious pastries from them. We buy ready-made puff pastry in frozen form. And in order for baking to be successful, it is necessary to take into account several nuances:

- Defrost puff pastry on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator or, in extreme cases, on the table at room temperature. Do not defrost puff pastry in the microwave, over a pot of hot water, or on a hot radiator;

- Roll out the puff pastry in one direction. Such dough does not like being rolled out in different directions;

- start working with the dough when it is almost defrosted and retains its elasticity. Don't wait for the dough to thaw until it's very soft. It is difficult to work with such a dough and then it will rise poorly;

- Cut the dough with a very sharp knife. If you see that the dough has become so soft that it reaches for the knife, then it is better not to cut the dough, but simply press the knife with the sharp side to the dough from above. This will keep the dough layers intact and cut the dough evenly into pieces.
