How To Make Perfect Puff Pastry Dough By Hand

We aren't just doing some easy rough puff pastry here, this is a proper laminated puff pastry dough recipe. I'm a big fan of doing things the right way, with no short cuts and It's surprisingly easy once you actually do it. It's very minimal active effort and requires only a little bit of waiting here and there. The buttery results are well worth it all.

You're making me such an "extra" cook. As in, my friends are like "oh sonni is coming and she's probably bringing homemade sourdough. Shes so extra and we benefit from it" 😂😂😂 love your recipes and love sharing them!!!

I’ve been a chef for over 15 years and because of your videos I’ve got an incurable passion for baking now. Never really cared for it before, but after watching the sourdough starter and the baguette recipes I’m fucking hooked now. Looking forward to seeing some more of your recipes in the future. Keep up the good work bud.

I have made this puff pastry 4 times. It is simple and delicious. I use it for sausage rolls and tarts. I especially love the tip about how to get the dough and butter into square shapes. I use that tip every time. I love tips like that! Thank you, chef! Thank you, thank you.

I made the puff pastry this weekend and let it sit in the fridge for about a day and half. I just baked a caramelized onion tart and it was ridiculous!!! This was my first try at puff pastry and it came out amazing! Thanks!!!

I stumbled on this recipe while preparing to make New Year's Eve dinner, and I tried it because I liked your style - no faff, just true love for the art of cooking. It was my first time making puff pastry dough, and it was such a success I wanted to thank you personally! Absolutely delicious.

Hands down, probably the best puff pastry guide on Youtube. I've been a professional baker & confectioner for over 30 years and other than using a few machines to make life easier, this is exactly how I make my puff 👍

I made your chicken parmesan recipe and did all the extra stuff with making my own sauce, garlic bread, homemade pasta. And it came out amazing thanks Josh!

I'm currently following your recipe for the top of a homemade beef pie that I'm making tomorrow. I've done two folds so far. I have to say thank you for actually using grams with your measurements. My father was a pastry chef/baker and he always taught me to use grams especially with flour so I can't stand recipes with only cup measurements. Looking forward to see how it turns out :)

Legit I’ve been making all of this over quarantine. I’ve become waaaay to extra for my own good but I love this

[cherrikinney]

Yes, do Beef Wellington!!!! I was thinking of giving it my first attempt next holiday.

[hinaultst]

Hey Joshua - I watch a lot - A LOT of cooking videos and I am really enjoying how you produce them. Thank you for your effort!

[rainskitchenandgarden]

Thanks for the recipe and the great tip about the wax paper! I'm on fold number 3 now, making mille feuilles tomorrow, first time making puff pastry. It's so much easier than I thought it would be.! The last time I ate the frozen store-bought puff pastry, all I could taste was canola oil...that motivated me to find a recipe and I'm so happy I found your video.

Used this recipe for beef Wellington. Was amazing I added a little rosemary to the puff dough was smelling amazing 😉

[aaronhughes]

Someone's gonna make a double recipe and try to roll it into a 14 inch and 8 inch square aren't they...

[cynhwon]

Joshua is out here every week motivating us to move our arses to the kitchen and do stuff😂😂 Each time I watch, I feel like I can do it too💪 Thank you for your hard work!!! It‘s clear and super easy to follow;)

[degrassifangirl]

I want someone to love me like you love flakeysalt

[andyokus]

I just made puff pastry for the first time. Awesome recipe!!! My turnovers came out amazing. Haven't tried one yet, but they look great...so many layers. Much easier than croissant dough. Thanks Josh!!!
