Tip
Previous tipThe kind of pan you use can affect baking times. A nonstick or dark glazed baking sheet may bake faster, so adjust your time and check pastry while baking.
If your Puff Pastry becomes soft and sticky while working with it, chill it in the fridge for a few minutes. Place in the refrigerator between rollings, too.
Always flip and place the cut side of the Puff Pastry down on the baking sheet.
You can thaw Puff Pastry in the fridge. Separate and place each sheet on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and defrost in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.

"Excellent as it is, and so versatile! I've used leftover ham with cheddar cheese, oven roasted tomatoes and feta, caramelized onions with black olives and Swiss cheese... a great go-to for a quick appetizer or main course."

"I thought the puff pastries would make a nice change to my son's favorite meal. We really didn't like the crust though. I don't have a wire rack to cool things off on. Maybe that was the problem. But the crust was a little greasy and not crisp."
