A light, crispy and flakey pastry with layers (yes layers!) that is gluten free! This recipe will be in your regular rotation, trust me. I was always scared to make puff pastry, especially gluten free, but now I know how easy it is, and how much cheaper it is I’ll be making it all the time.
Before you start it is a time commitment, in that between each ‘fold’ you need to refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes. So it’s great when you’re busy at home, and can come back and forth to complete the quick folds, which help to give it those distinctive layers.
The critical points of your gluten free pastry journey:
Cold ingredients: make sure you butter is straight from the fridge or even frozen (but cube it first), and your water is ice cold.
The flour: this is the key component in your success. I have only tried this recipe with Ardor gluten free flour or Bobs Red Mills flour. And it worked great with both. So my top tip is pick a good quality, gluten free flour you know, love and trust. This will help ensure a great end result!
Rolling: roll it out between two sheets of baking paper, when you’re ready to bake it. This will help get it as thin as possible, and deliver the best texture.
Baking: a HOT oven will ensure your pastry rises.
