| Butter, cold | 375.0 | 75.0% | 31.6% |
| TOTALS | 1185.0 | 100.0% | 100.0% |
PREPARATION
NOTE: Puff pastry is a 'laminated dough,' meaning there are thin layers of firm butter rolled between layers of dough to result in a flaky puff pastry. The butter is called 'roll-in.' The consistency and temperature of the roll-in is critical. It should be about the same consistency and temperature of rested dough to work best. Roll-in that is too cold or too warm is not good. However, having roll-in too warm is worse. Also, avoid using too much flour on work surfaces to prevent toughening the dough. Brush off excess while working.
Place both flours, salt and water in mixing bowl fit with dough hook. Mix on speed 1 until a dough forms; desired finished temperature is 66 +/-2°F. Cover dough; rest in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape and flatten butter into 6" square about ¾" think; set aside. Immediately roll out dough into 12" square about 3/8" thick. Place butter in center. Fold edges of dough over butter; working clockwise (the butter should be covered when done). Working from center, gently roll dough to about 3 times its original length, but the width remains the same; thickness should be about 3/8". Keep corners square. Fold the resulting rectangle of dough into thirds, like a business letter. Again, roll the square dough form the center into a rectangle as above, then fold in ends. Cover and rest dough in refrigerator 10-20 minutes. Repeat this process (rolling/letter fold/rolling/letter fold/rest) two more times (total of 6 times), being sure to turn the dough 90° each time to keep from overworking gluten in same direction. After final rest, roll out dough to about 1/8" thickness to cut into 1 ¾" rounds to make finished recipe.
