Fortunately, creative and adventurous cooks have learned how to make 
puff pastry using simpler methods, and more importantly less time!<br />

Before getting <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">started</u></a>, be sure to follow some of these general tips:<br />

<ul>
<li>Work on a cold surface, such as a cold marble countertop or marble board.</li>
<li>It is necessary to keep the butter that you are using in your <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">recipe</u></a>
 cold. This is because the butter melts in cooking and leaves the air 
pockets that make puff pastry puffy. If, at any time, the butter begins 
to soften, pop the dough in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm it 
back up. Melting butter will ruin your efforts when you're making puff 
pastry.</li>
<li>If you like your puff pastry to have a glossy sheen after it is baked, you may brush it with an egg wash prior to baking.</li>
<li>Puff pastry can be made in big batches and frozen. To freeze, wrap 
tightly with plastic and then foil, and freeze for up to three months.</li>
<li>While the methods in this <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">article</u></a>
 showing how to make puff pastry are easier than the traditional method,
 there is still some difficulty involved. If you try making puff pastry a
 few times with poor results, there is no shame in purchasing the frozen
 pastry available in your grocery store freezer section.</li>
<li>As with any <a href="http://gourmet.lovetoknow.com/Different_Types_of_Pastry" title="Different Types of Pastry">pastry</a>, <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">puff</u></a> pastry does best with minimal handling. The more you handle the pastry, the more you sacrifice flakiness and tenderness.</li>
</ul>
<div class="ad-custom nolinks">
<br /></div>
<h3>
Method #1</h3>
<strong>Ingredients</strong><br />

<ul>
<li>One cup of unbleached bread flour (be sure it is bread flour and not regular unbleached all-purpose flour)</li>
<li>1/4 cup of unbleached all-purpose flour</li>
<li>1/4 teaspoon of salt</li>
<li>Two sticks plus an additional five tablespoons of frozen unsalted butter</li>
<li>Six tablespoons of ice water</li>
</ul>
<strong>Directions</strong><br />

<ol>
<li>Sift flour and salt into a bowl.</li>
<li>Using a coarse grater, grate the frozen butter into the bowl with 
the salt and flour and mix gently. No need to incorporate the butter and
 flour together at this point - just gently toss the ingredients 
together.</li>
<li>Add the ice water.</li>
<li>Mix all of the ingredients together using a fork or a whisk.</li>
<li>Gather the dough and turn it out onto a floured work surface.</li>
<li>Using the heel of your hand, press down onto the surface. Don't 
knead. Just use your hands to press and spread so that the butter is 
more incorporated into the flour.</li>
<li>Pat the dough into a ball. Wrap it with plastic and freeze for 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Roll the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle that is 1/2 inch thick.</li>
<li>Fold the dough into thirds, and then fold that in half.</li>
<li>Roll the dough again into a rectangle.</li>
<li>Repeat the folding and rolling one more time.</li>
<li>Fold the dough as directed above, wrap it in plastic, and freeze the dough for another 20 minutes.</li>
<li>Repeat two more cycles of rolling, folding and freezing.</li>
<li>Now the dough can be used just as you would any other puff pastry.</li>
</ol>
<h3>
Method #2</h3>
The second method is an interesting one that utilizes yeast to make 
the puff pastry dough. While yeast is not a traditional ingredient of 
puff pastry, it may be well worth trying if you are looking to save some
 steps and make a quick puff pastry in an afternoon. The method can be 
found at<br />

<h2>
Making Puff Pastry Isn't as Complicated as It Seems</h2>
As you can see, making and using puff pastry for all of your <a href="http://gourmet.lovetoknow.com/Recipes_Using_Puff_Pastry" title="Recipes Using Puff Pastry">recipes that call for puff pastry</a> doesn't need to be a <a class="ktg6us78hf8vdu7" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: #fff7c1; border-radius: 2px; border: 1px solid rgb(247, 226, 94); display: inline; padding: 2px;"><u style="border-bottom: 1px solid;">complicated</u></a>,
 multiple day process. Give the two methods above a try. You might 
discover that you are far better at making puff pastry than you ever 
could have believed.</div>

What to
 do when your 8-year old nephew comes to visit? Make pizza, of course! 
Well, not of course, actually. I didn’t think of it until we exhausted 
Sorry, Monopoly, and gin rummy. But it did turn out to be a brilliant 
idea as dad had just received a baking stone for Christmas, and my 
nephew Austin loves pizza. I told him if he helped me make it and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elisebauer/sets/72157594462102254/">didn’t make too many faces</a>
 I would put him on my website and he would be famous. That seemed to 
get his attention. He thought the dough was “slimy and gross” but he 
loved picking his own toppings, and the finished product was “awesome”.<br />
<span id="more-4239"></span>

The following method I patched together from recipes in both <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0743246268/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=elisecom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0743246268">Joy of Cooking</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=0743246268" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /> and Cook’s Illustrated’s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0936184744/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=elisecom&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0936184744">The Best Recipe</a>.<img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=&l=as2&o=1&a=0936184744" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
 I made two batches of dough, four pizzas in all, with varied toppings. 
Next time I’ll be a bit more patient with stretching out the dough so I 
can get it even thinner. Look to the end of this post for some excellent
 links about pizza from other food bloggers.</div>

<h3>
Method</h3>
<div itemprop="recipeInstructions">
<h4>
Making the Pizza Dough</h4>
<b>1</b>  In the large bowl of a heavy duty electric mixer (such as a
 Kitchen Aid), add the warm water.  Sprinkle on the yeast and let sit 
for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved.  Stir to dissolve completely
 if needed at the end of 5 minutes.<br />
<img alt="pizza-1.jpg" class="floatimgleft" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-1.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /><br />
<b>2</b> Attach a mixing paddle to the mixer.  Mix in the olive oil, 
flour, salt and sugar on low speed for about a minute.  Remove the 
mixing paddle and replace with a dough hook.  Knead using the mixer and 
dough hook, on low to medium speed, until the dough is smooth and 
elastic, about 10 minutes.  If you don't have a mixer, you can mix and 
knead by hand. If the dough seems a little too wet, sprinkle on a bit 
more flour.<br />
<img alt="pizza-2.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-2.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /> <img alt="pizza-3.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-3.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /><br />
<b>3</b> Place ball of dough in a bowl that has been coated lightly with
 olive oil.  Turn the dough around in the bowl so that it gets coated 
with the oil.  Cover with plastic wrap.  Let sit in a warm place 
(75-85°F) until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or several 
hours longer, a longer rise will improve the flavor).  If you don't have
 a warm spot in the house you can heat the oven to 150 degrees, and then
 turn off the oven.  Let the oven cool till it is just a little warm, 
then place the bowl of dough in this warmed oven to rise. <br />
At this point, if you want to make ahead, you can freeze the dough in an airtight container for up to two weeks.<br />
<h4>
Preparing the Pizzas</h4>
<b>1</b> Place a pizza stone on a rack in the lower third of your 
oven.  Preheat the oven to 450°F for at least 30 minutes, preferably an 
hour.<br />
<b>2</b> Remove the plastic cover from the dough and punch the dough 
down so it deflates a bit.  Divide the dough in half.  Form two round 
balls of dough.  Place each in its own bowl, cover with plastic and let 
sit for 10 minutes.<br />
<b>3</b> Prepare your desired toppings.  Note that you are not going 
to want to load up each pizza with a lot of toppings as the crust will 
end up not crisp that way.  About a third a cup each of tomato sauce and
 cheese would be sufficient for one pizza.  One to two mushrooms thinly 
sliced will cover a pizza.<br />
<img alt="pizza-4.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-4.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /> <img alt="pizza-5.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-5.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /><br />
<b>4</b> Working one ball of dough at a time, take one ball of dough 
and flatten it with your hands on a slightly floured work surface.  
Starting at the center and working outwards, use your fingertips to 
press the dough to 1/2-inch thick.  Turn and stretch the dough until it 
will not stretch further.  Let the dough relax 5 minutes and then 
continue to stretch it until it reaches the desired diameter - 10 to 12 
inches.  Use your palm to flatten the edge of the dough where it is 
thicker.  You can pinch the very edges if you want to form a lip.<br />
<img alt="austin-pizza.jpg" class="floatimgleft" height="200" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/austin-pizza.jpg?ea6e46" width="133" /><br />
<b>5</b> Brush the top of the dough with olive oil (to prevent it 
from getting soggy from the toppings).  Use your finger tips to press 
down and make dents along the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling. 
 Let rest another 5 minutes.  <br />
Repeat with the second ball of dough.<br />
<img alt="pizza-6.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-6.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /> <img alt="pizza-7.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-7.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /><br />
<b>6</b> Lightly sprinkle your pizza peel (or flat baking sheet) with
 corn meal.  Transfer one prepared flattened dough to the pizza peel.  
If the dough has lost its shape in the transfer, lightly shape it to the
 desired dimensions.<br />
<img alt="pizza-8.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-8.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /> <img alt="pizza-9.jpg" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-9.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /><br />
<b>7</b> Spoon on the tomato sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and place your desired toppings on the pizza.<br />
<img alt="pizza-10.jpg" class="floatimgleft" height="133" src="http://www.simplyrecipes.com/photos/pizza-10.jpg?ea6e46" width="200" /><br />
<b>8</b> Sprinkle some cornmeal on the baking stone in the oven 
(watch your hands, the oven is hot!).  Gently shake the peel to see if 
the dough will easily slide, if not, gently lift up the edges of the 
pizza and add a bit more cornmeal.  Slide the pizza off of the peel and 
on to the baking stone in the oven.  Bake pizza one at a time until the 
crust is browned and the cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes.  If you 
want, toward the end of the cooking time you can sprinkle on a little 
more cheese.</div>

nephew Austin loves pizza. I told him if he helped me make it and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elisebauer/sets/72157594462102254/">didn’t make too many faces</a>
 I would put him on my website and he would be famous. That seemed to 
get his attention. He thought the dough was “slimy and gross” but he 
loved picking his own toppings, and the finished product was “awesome”.<br />

<h2>
Preparation method</h2>
<ol class="instructions">
<li class="instruction">For the filling, cut all the chicken into 15mm/5/8in chunks. Heat the oil in a sauté pan or a wide saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the shallots, garlic, chilli and ginger and fry gently for a few minutes, or until soft but not coloured.</li>
<li class="instruction">Stir in the curry paste and cook for a minute or two. Add the chicken pieces, increase the heat a little and cook, stirring all the time, until the chicken has lost its raw look. Add the coconut cream, chicken stock, lime leaves, lemongrass and sweet potato. Simmer for 12–15 minutes, or until the sweet potato is tender.</li>
<li class="instruction">Add the cornflour, bring to a simmer and stir until the sauce begins to thicken. Take off the heat and season, to taste, with black pepper and a little fish sauce. Leave to cool. Remove the lemongrass and lime leaves and transfer to a 1.2 litre/2 pint pie dish. </li>
<li class="instruction">To make the shortcrust pastry, put the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the butter and lard and rub in lightly with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Alternatively, do this in a food processor or a mixer and then transfer to a bowl.<br />

</li>
<li class="instruction">Using a table knife, work in two tablespoons of cold water and the lemon juice (if using) until the pastry comes together. Add a little extra water if needed. </li>
<li class="instruction">When the dough begins to stick together, use your hands to gently knead it into a ball. Wrap the pastry in cling film and put in the fridge to rest for about 30 minutes.</li>
<li class="instruction">Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.</li>
<li class="instruction">Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Cut a long 2cm/¾in wide strip of pastry, dampen the edge of the pie dish with water and press the pastry strip to it. Use a lattice cutter to cut a pattern in the remaining pastry. Pull the pastry very gently to open up the lattice, then place over the pie. Press the edges down to seal, then trim away any excess pastry. Brush the top of the pie with beaten egg. <br />

Preparation method</h2>
<ol class="instructions">
<li class="instruction">For the filling, heat the olive oil and butter in a pan and fry the leeks, spring onions and mushrooms until softened.</li>
<li class="instruction">Place in a large bowl with the cooked chicken, feta cheese, herbs and enough cream to make the mixture moist.</li>
<li class="instruction">Season the filling with lots of freshly ground black pepper and a little nutmeg, to taste. Try the filling and add a little salt if needed. Feta cheese is very salty so you might not need it.</li>
<li class="instruction">Brush the base of a frying pan with olive oil. Lay some large pieces of pastry over the pan so that it drapes over the sides and brush all over with olive oil, then spoon in half the filling.</li>
<li class="instruction">Rip a piece of pastry and lay on top of the filling to cover. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with a little water.</li>
<li class="instruction">Spoon in the rest of the filling; place more pastry on top in the same way as before to make the top layer, brush with olive oil and sprinkle with water.</li>
<li class="instruction">Fold the pastry, hanging over the edges of the pan, back over the top to form a nice round pie. Brush again with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with water.</li>
<li class="instruction">Fry for 6-8 minutes on a low heat, checking all the time so it doesn’t go brown too fast. </li>
<li class="instruction">Remove from the heat, turn over like a Spanish tortilla by placing a plate over the frying pan and quickly turning the pie upside-down on to the plate. Quickly slide it back into the pan and cook the other side for 6-8 minutes, or until golden-brown.</li>
<li class="instruction">Place on a round wooden board and cut into large wedges. Serve hot or cold with a green salad or vegetables. </li>
