What is puff pastry?
Puff pastry is a light, flaky pastry made from a laminated dough, or dough that is made by alternating layers of butter and dough.

The main ingredients used for this are butter, salt, water and flour.

In hojaldres Divali we are experts in Puff Pastry Dough. Of course also in preparations, such as sweet puff pastry products or products made of salted puff pastry dough or salt puff pastry.

Making puff pastry dough from scratch is no easy task. It involves wrapping a cold block of butter in dough, rolling it out, folding it over and repeating this rolling and folding process until you are left with hundreds of layers of puff pastry.

Not to mention that the dough must be chilled between each round of rolling and folding, which makes the process time-consuming.

In the oven, the liquid in both the butter and the dough evaporates, causing the layers to swell.

The butter melts with the dough giving it its golden color and crunchy texture.

The technique was actually perfected by the French but has been adopted by bakers all over the world. In Colombia, we at Divali.

Because of this painstaking process, many people choose to forgo making puff pastry from scratch and opt for the store-bought version found in the freezer aisle.

Whether you make it from scratch or use the store-bought kind, the result is a light, buttery dough with a slight crunch.

Today it is used for everything from empanadas to delicious pastries.
