Puff Pastry
- 1 14 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 100 g unsalted butter, frozen
- 100 g vegetable butter, frozen
- 5 -6 tablespoons ice water
- Stir together flour and salt in a chilled large metal bowl.
- Coarsely grate frozen butters into flour, gently tossing to coat butter.
- Drizzle 5 tablespoons ice water evenly over flour mixture and gently stir with a fork until incorporated.
- Test mixture by gently squeezing a small handful: When dough has the proper texture, it will hold together without crumbling apart.
- If necessary, add another tablespoon water, stirring until just incorporated, and test again.
- (Do not overwork dough or add too much water, or pastry will be tough; dough will be lumpy and streaky.
- ).
- Form dough into a 5-inch square, then chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out dough on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a 15- by 8-inch rectangle (with a short side nearest you).
- Brush off excess flour and fold dough into thirds like a letter.
- Rewrap dough and chill until firm, at least 30 minutes.
- Arrange dough with a short side nearest you on a floured surface and repeat rolling out, folding, and chilling 2 more times.
- Brush off any excess flour, then halve dough crosswise with a sharp knife and chill, wrapped separately in plastic wrap, at least 1 hour.
