Puff pastry

Apple turnover, made with puff pastry

In baking, a puff pastry (French: pâte feuilletée; Spanish: hojaldre) is a light, flaky pastry made from dough of the same name. The dough, which is also called puff paste, contains several layers of butter. This is accomplished by spreading butter on the dough, folding it, and rolling it out repeatedly. The process can be time-consuming because the dough must be kept at a cool temperature (approximately 60ºF) and must rest in between folds. Commercially made puff pastry is available in the freezer section of most grocery stores or supermarkets. Many substitute vegetable shortening instead of butter.
