Classic Puff Pastry from Scratch aka Best Homemade Pâte Feuilletée
If you bake often, then you must have used this wonderful light, crispy and flaky pastry dough called puff pastry. A base to make many wonderful treats, both sweet and savory.
We use it to make savory dishes like chicken pot pie and quick puff pastry pizzas, as well as in desserts like Napoleon, Nutella puffs apple turnovers and more.
I think the reason we use it so widely and so often is because we can buy it off the shelf rather than make it ourselves.
Did you ever wonder why we don’t make it at home? Do you want to know how to make puff pastry yourself? Well, today, I will share with you everything you need to know about puff pastry, including my no-fail recipe and fool-proof method for making it yourself perfectly every single time.
And I know that those of you that like a little challenge, will perhaps make an attempt to making your own puff pastry, and I hope the rest of you will realize how lucky you are to be able to pick it off the shelf.
What is puff pastry?
The classic puff pastry is also known as Pâte feuilletée. In French, it means layered dough (laminated dough). The layers are made with just three main ingredients flour, water, and butter. And there is no leavening or yeast in the classic puff pastry.
The puff pastry is made up of three parts — The flour knows as the détrempe in French, the butter block which is known as the beurrage, and the Pâton, which means the package of dough by combining the two, flour and butter block into one.
What is the puff is puff pastry?
The butter block or beurrage is folded into the flour through a number of folds or turns known as tours in French. These fold helps create layers of butter and flour. Furthermore, these layers of butter make the dough rise in the oven during baking. The butter turns into steam and pushes up the layers of dough, thus creating a puff. And this is what creates the puff in puff pastry.
The result are thin, crispy, buttery layers of delicious pastry. They say a classic puff pastry has about 729 layers of folded dough (but looks like thousands).

Why make homemade puff pastry?
To some people puff pastry is just an ingredient you buy at the supermarkets. So often people are surprised when they hear about homemade puff pastry.
Why? Why would you make puff pastry at home? Well, first of all, there ain’t nothing like homemade puff pastry. That fresh puff pastry that just melts in the mouth. Crisp, flaky and tender. And if you’ve ever tasted homemade fresh puff pastry, you know exactly what I’m talking about.
Also, often you will get pastry chef’s who proudly make puff pastry from scratch. And rightfully so, it does require patience and skill. And then there are those who make puff pastry because they can’t buy puff pastry in the supermarket.
I learned to make puff pastry from scratch, years ago, when I lived in India. Back then we could not buy puff pastry off the shelf (now you know what I meant by appreciating that you can buy puff pastry off the shelf). So we had to make it ourselves.
Where did I learn puff pastry?
Back then, it was a well-guarded skill and those who knew how to make it refused to teach me. I remember the first time I made puff pastry – I rolled a few sheets of dough and brushed each with butter/flour mixture. Then, I Stacked them up and rolled them again. Of course, that only gives you big bulk layers that do not look anything like real puff pastry.
I tried that method because I was told by another lady that that’s how she makes it. Consequently, I didn’t learn puff pastry that day. And yet, what I learned was that if you don’t want to share your recipe with someone, graciously say you can’t share it. Don’t mislead them or give them the wrong recipe. Her selfishness is what led to my selfless blog, where I share my recipes and knowledge so others like me can learn.
Then one day, I happen to see an international dessert book at a friend’s place that showed how to make puff pastry and croissants. So I made notes… I practiced and practiced and practiced… and finally, one day I was happy with my results. Since then I have been making puff pastry with pride. So yes, for me it was necessity and passion that made me want to learn how to make puff pastry.
And yet, this does not mean I don’t use store-bought puff pastry. Heck yes, quite often in fact. Store-bought puff pastry is a luxury and you must never feel guilty to use it. And yet, sometimes when you feel that need to go beyond and make it homemade, that’s when this no-fail method will come in handy.

Homemade Puff Pastry
Did you know that making homemade puff pastry is really easy? Yes! The honest truth is that making homemade puff pastry is easy, and yet it is time-consuming. Because the process involves folding the dough over a few times (6 times) with 15 minutes intervals.
Let’s see:
- Making the dough – 5 to 7 mins
- Making the butter block – 5 to 7 mins
- Chill – 30 mins
- Combine the flour and butter block – 10 mins
- Folding the dough six times with 15 mins intervals 6 x 15 minutes – so, 90 minutes
- The process of rolling and folding itself takes only 5 minutes each time so 6 x 5 = 30 minutes
- Final chilling – 60 mins
- Total time 230 minutes of which 180 minutes is the chilling time (inactive time) while the actual work (active time) is only 50 minutes
So, what do you think? It’s difficult? Nah!! Time-consuming – yes!

Types of puff pastry
There are four common types of puff pastry. Full, half, three-quarter and inverted puff. Where full, half and three quarters refer to the ration of fat to flour.
For example, this recipe is a classic puff pastry, which is referred to as full puff pastry. And it uses an equal amount of flour and butter. While the half means that the weight of fat is half of the weight of the flour, and so on.
The inverted puff is also known as upside-down puff pastry. In which the dough in encased in the butter block. Yes, sounds complicated, and yet it is possible while it does take a little practice and getting used to.
Classic Puff Pastry from Scratch aka Best Homemade Pâte Feuilletée
Are Puff pastry, Croissants, and Danish pastry the same?
No, they are all laminated dough, meaning they are all layers of flour and butter, and yet they are all different from each other.
- Puff pastry has no yeast and no eggs.
- Croissant dough has the addition of yeast and is made with milk just like bread, but with lamination.
- Danish pastry has yeast as well as eggs.
- While puff pastry goes thru 6 folds, a croissant goes thru just 3 or 4 folds, and a Danish pastry has about 3 turns as well.
- Lastly, puff pastry has a flaky crusty quality, while croissant has a more bread-like quality and the Danish pastry has a chewier texture.
Do I have to roll puff pastry to exact measurements?
The measurements are the one issue that often scares people and make them afraid to try homemade puff pastry.
In truth, the measurements are just guidelines. You want to roll the dough to a long rectangle that’s twice the size of your butter plus an inch around to seal it. So, in this case, my butter is a 6-inch square, which means I need to roll the dough to a rectangle of about 13 inches long and minimum 7 inches wide.
Do I have to fold the puff pastry like a book?
Again, the folding technique is a guideline. And it is meant to ensure that we get as many layers as possible from this number of folds. There are a French, English and a Scottish method.
And no matter what method of folding you use, book fold, letter turn, double turn or combination method, depends on what is easier for you. The folds will help you create layers and layers. I find the book fold to be the easiest and most fuss-free method.
Do I have to fold the pastry six times?
As I said above, puff pastry is folded 6 times to get as many layers as possible, while the croissant or Danish is rolled only 3 to 4 times. Therefore, you can roll the puff pastry fewer times and it will have fewer layers. And yet, it will still be delicious because it’s homemade. Also, it is not recommended to go more than 7 folds as that may cause the layers to blend into each other.

Let’s talk ingredients and substitutes (Save/Pin)
- Butter – The best butter for laminated dough is one with less moisture. Like a good quality European butter. High in fat and low in water content.
- Flour – Strong bread flour is usually recommended when making a laminated dough. Bread flour has a protein content of 1.5 to 12.5 %, which provides the strong gluten structure needed to trap water vapor as the pastry is baking, thus creating a nice flaky texture. All-Purpose flour can also be used instead of bread flour. For the first 10 years, I made puff pastry with only all-purpose flour because bread flour was not available.
- Sugar – Helps the dough with water absorption. It also adds sweetness, flavor, and tenderness to the dough.
- Liquid – You can use water, milk or cream to make puff pastry. Personally, I like using water or milk, but not cream. I find that cream makes the baked pastry darker than golden brown.

Useful Tools and Tips
- My favorite equipment when making any pastry is thefood processor. We need to cut the butter into the flour until it reaches bread crumb consistency. I find the food processor gives an even distribution of butter in the flour making a very stable dough that’s easy to roll without any large chunks of butter.
- And yet, I’m not one to rely on equipment, so, a simple chilled bowl and your fingertips are really all you need to make a good pastry. Also, using a fork or a pastry blender makes it easier on the fingers.
- A good rolling pin is an important part of rolling this pastry. I use my French rolling pin and yet any standard rolling pin works just as well. Often pastry chef will use a metal rolling pin because it keeps the dough chilled.
- A pizza cutter is the best tool to cut puff pastry. Avoid using a knife to cut pastry and if you do, do not drag or saw with the knife because it closes the edges of the pastry and prevents it from baking into open layers. Instead, make a clean top-down cut so the layers stay defined and bloom into wonderful layers when baked.
- Also, good baking trayworks best to transfer the dough from surface to fridge.
- Covering the dough with cling or plastic wrap is a must when chilling in the fridge to prevent the dough drying out.

Creating the folds/turns (tours)
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface so the seam is towards the top.
- Start by lightly tap the dough with the rolling pin on the top surface – this will soften the butter inside preventing it from cracking. (which usually happens if you just start rolling).

Tips for working with puff pastry
- Always keep puff pastry cold at all times. This is the best way to create and preserve those layers of flour and butter.
If the dough warms up too much, then the two will combine together and blend into a single dough ruining any layers you may have created. - Don’t skip the resting time – This is important not just so the butter stays cold but it also helps the gluten in the flour relax, making it easier to roll again. The un-rested dough will shrink and not roll making it difficult to keep those layers separated.
- If you live in a hot humid country – work on a chilled large baking tray rather than on a countertop. Place the baking tray in the fridge with the dough so it stays chilled. Then, bring the dough out – flip the baking tray, dust with flour and roll the dough to create the fold.
- Each half can be rolled to a thin sheet of minimum 12 x 12 or maximum 16 x 16 square.
- Rolling the sheet thin gives pretty well defined puffed edges. While rolling it thick will give you very bulky edges, which don’t look as elegant.
- And yet, rolling too thin will squash the layers ruining all your hard work.
- If you live in a hot and humid country – work in small batches. For example, if you have divided the sheet into 16 squares – work with 4 squares at a time – keeping the rest in the fridge. This will make sure you have beautiful puff pastry treats no matter what the weather is.
- Also, make sure your oven is preheated properly before you place puff pastry to bake. Laminated doughs must be baked at between 200 C to 220 C (400 F – 425 F).
If the oven is not hot enough, the butter between the layers will melt away and the layers will fuse together ruining all the hard work you did.

Frequently asked questions
Can you substitute pie crust for puff pastry?
Pie crust is a buttery flaky crust with more butter in the dough and is cooked to a crisp. While puff pastry has less butter in the dough but lots of butter between the layers. So while the beginning starts off quite similar they are two completely different bases and should not be used interchangeably.
Can I use margarine instead of butter for puff pastry?
Honestly, if you’re going to take the trouble to make puff pastry make it the best, using good quality butter. Having said that, you can use half butter and half vegetable shortening, which will give you a light flaky crust.
You can also use margarine, however, the high water content in margarine can make the dough tougher. So you can add a few tablespoons of extra flour to better absorb the water. And yet, do not use spreads like butter spread or vegetable spread since they are very high in water content and will not give you the right consistency of puff pastry.
Can I brush puff pastry with cream? How do I get a golden crust on my puff pastry?
Ideally, egg wash is brushed on pastry for a nice golden color. As you can see in the picture below, I left the first piece without any egg wash, the second is brushed with egg yolk and milk, while the third is brushed with egg yolk and cream. The milk solids in the milk and cream will give you a darker color when baked. While a plain egg yolk with water will be paler. There is no right or wrong with this method. It depends on how long you need to bake the pastry. I use an egg wash with water when I need to bake the pastry longer. And I use eggwash with cream for quickly baked pastry so I get a golden crust.
How to make Puff Pastry at home from scratch, Easy Homemade Pâte Feuilletée
Why is my puff pastry tough?
Puff pastry does need butter in the dough as well as in between the dough layers. If you add less butter in the dough you will find that the dough is quite tough to work with. It does not roll as smoothly and will tear easily, despite being chilled. So my advice when working with puff pastry, don’t skimp on the fat.
Can puff pastry be frozen before baking?
Absolutely, freeze the dough in small batches individually wrapped in plastic. Or, freeze prepared puff pastry treats between layers of baking paper/parchment paper. Most puff pastry treats can be frozen for two weeks. And you don’t need to thaw puff pastry before baking. The thin layers of butter and fat benefit from the high heat.
How long can I keep puff pastry in the fridge?
Unbaked puff pastry will stay good in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. Make sure to wrap well in plastic to prevent the dough from drying out. Baked puff pastry is best eaten fresh. Personally, I bake only as much as I need for the day and save the rest in the freezer.
Can I use puff pastry instead of filo?
They are two completely different dough, and yes, in some cases you can use puff pastry instead of filo.
For example, you can make apple strudel with filo as well as with puff pastry. And you can also make samosa with puff pastry or filo. However, you can’t always use them interchangeably. For example, a Baklava is best made with filo and would be a disaster with puff pastry.
Can puff pastry be reheated? How do I reheat my bake puffed pastry treats?
The best way to bring puff pastry back to life is in the oven, not microwave. Bake in a preheated oven at 200C until warm through.
Does puff pastry have an expiry?
While the shelf life of puff pastry in the fridge is just 4 to 5 days, its shelf life in the freezer is really long. They say a well-wrapped puff pasty in the freeze can last up to 12 months if frozen at 0° F. I have personally never kept my puff pastry that long in the freezer so I can’t confirm that.
