Puff Pastry Dough vs. Pie Crust Dough
1. 3-Ingredient Puff Pastry Dough
Ingredients:
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 ¼ cups salted butter, cubed and chilled
• ⅔ cup ice-cold water
Instructions:
1. Cut the butter into cubes and chill it in the refrigerator.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and water. Remove the chilled butter from the fridge and mix it into the flour until a dough forms.
3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out. Sprinkle additional flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
4. Shape the dough into a rectangle, then fold it into thirds. Roll it out again using a rolling pin.
5. Repeat the folding process once more, then roll it out one final time.
