To cook crispy and, at the same time, tender and airy pastries, the hostess needs to have considerable culinary experience and have a lot of free time.

At least, this is the opinion of many. But what do you say to the fact that puff pastry baking does not require either the first or the second.

Moreover, puff pastry can always be bought at the store and after two hours of defrosting it will be ready to use. You just have to roll out a thin layer and cut it into portioned pieces.

The two recipes that are described in detail here are time-tested and approved by experienced sweet tooth. So, there is no need to worry that someone will not like baking.

If you need a treat for a large number of people, I suggest that you familiarize yourself with the first recipe in detail. But this is not scary, because the dough is not used all at once, a certain part of it can be stored until the next time in the freezer.

Yeast-free puff pastry will come in handy if you decide to cook some kind of sweet dish, meat pies, puffs, pies with cheese or cottage cheese, croissants with cream filling or fruit. In a word, there are a lot of options.

All layers of pastries made from dough with yeast are tender and airy, their number varies from 20 to 100, which is less than in products where yeast-free puff pastry was used.

In addition, it has a slightly acidic taste, it is most often used for savory snack pies and skewers.

Recipe number 1 or how to prepare yeast-free puff pastry at home

Homemade quick puff pastry

Now I want to teach you how to cook quick puff pastry at home in a quarter of an hour. To some, such a task will seem impossible, but there are recipes, following which you will master this science.

You can use the quick puff pastry prepared under my guidance for baking pies with salty and sweet fillings, samsa and the famous Napoleon puff cake and make various puffs from it.

Baking is very crispy, multi-layered, but not as fluffy as in the classic version. I think that such a minor drawback will not affect your desire to learn how to cook quick puff pastry, and you will be happy to learn recipes that will prepare the base for your favorite desserts in 15 minutes.

Let's not waste time, and now I will provide your attention with a list of ingredients for puff pastry.

It: glass of water; 2 ½ cups wheat flour; a teaspoon of baking powder; half a pack of butter and a pinch of salt.

The set of products is small, but from them you will make the dough quickly and without problems.

As you can see, homemade puff pastry is made from simple ingredients that can be found in almost any kitchen.

And now let's proceed directly to the process, as a result of which you will get a puff pastry recipe. Subsequently, excellent puffs can be prepared from it.

So, we begin to knead quick puff pastry to bake puffs or pies with filling:

1. Sift the flour into a deep bowl and mix it with the baking powder. If the dough loosening component is not at hand, replace it with regular baking soda. She will be found in the kitchen cafe for sure. But before you add it to the dough, extinguish it in a cup, where ahead of time pour table vinegar in the amount of one tablespoon.
2. Dissolve the salt in water and pour the solution into the recess in the flour.
3. Knead the elastic dough, using a spatula immediately, and then put it on the board and work with your hands. If it sticks, add a little flour and make sure that it becomes elastic and slightly dense.
4. Now start rolling out the dough into a layer. The thickness of the layer should not be more than 2 mm, it depends on how airy the finished baking will be.
5. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and fold them in a pile, after brushing each of them with soft butter.
6. Twist the resulting “design” from the dough into a roll and wrap it in a spiral to make a “snail”.
7. Put it in the freezer and wait 20 minutes as the recipe calls for.
8. Take out the quick puff pastry and roll it in one direction into a thin layer. Now cut it into blanks of the desired size and form burgers or puffs.

If your plans do not include baking on the same day, leave the quick puff pastry until the time you need it.

By the way, the dough recipe is good because it can be made in advance and used when the need arises. For example, unexpected guests descended, and you have puffs or other pastries for tea almost ready.

All you have to do is roll out the puff pastry and cut out blanks from it.

Homemade puff pastry puffs

Roll out a layer of dough and cut strips from it, which you then divide into rectangles, and these, in turn, into triangles.

From an acute angle, start folding puffs - “bagels” (as shown in the photo), putting some sweet stuffing on the dough (chopped apples or banana slices).

Sprinkle homemade puff pastry with ground cinnamon mixed with granulated sugar, not reaching a few centimeters from one side to the narrow edge. Roll the dough into a roll and divide it in half.

Cut each half in the center and turn it outward along this mark so that the layer of cinnamon is visible. The photo clearly shows how you have to make the “curl” puffs so that they look attractive.

Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape and divide it into two parts along the length. Visually break each half in half and make parallel cuts on one of them with a sharp knife (5-6 pieces will be enough to make the puffs look attractive).

On the whole half, distribute the filling (pitted cherries or sweet cherries) and cover on top with the other part with “windows”. Lightly stretch the puff pastry to enlarge the slits, which will peek through the bright filling and awaken the appetite.

The edges of the pies should be pressed tightly and the puff pastry should be molded, preventing the juice from flowing out, which will stand out from the berries in a hot oven.

Pastries with cheese or fruit from homemade puff pastry, made with love and imagination, will undoubtedly please your family.

Kids love delicious puffs, which you can make in a very short time if you already have puff pastry in your freezer.

After all, they do not intend to wait a long time for a treat of dough and sweet filling. So, roll out a layer of dough and divide it into rectangles. Put the filling on the dough, taking only half of the workpiece, and cover with the other part on top.

Close the edges of the puff pastry with a fork. You have puffs with notches, as in the photo. And beautiful, and the filling will not leak onto the baking sheet.

Puffs - "Daisies"

Roll out the homemade puff pastry and divide it into 4 square layers. Stepping back a centimeter from the edge of the dough, make cuts parallel to the edge and put half of the canned apricot in the center. Gather the corners into a bun and pull towards the middle of the baking, pressing firmly. You have beautiful puffs that resemble chamomile.

Puffs - "Envelopes"

Dessert recipes that include puff pastry should be appetizing and attractive in appearance. One of them is prepared in the form of dough envelopes and stuffed with berries, bananas, jam or raisins.

Dried grapes must first be poured with hot water for 10-15 minutes, let it swell and only then spread on the dough.

Put a teaspoon of the filling in the center and gather all the corners of the dough piece into a bundle. Puffs in the form of envelopes are ready, they can be baked and served.

Puffs - "Baskets"

I just love this recipe. Puff pastry pastries are incredibly beautiful due to the contrast of the light shade of the dough and the bright filling. As a filling, use fresh strawberries, plums, pitted cherries.

To prepare puffs - “baskets”, you need to make cuts more authentic from the corners of the square, not forgetting to step back from the edge by a centimeter. Pick up the puff pastry with your fingers and transfer to the opposite side, press down.

In the oven, the fruit filling will not run out and burn on the baking sheet, as the perimeter rim configuration will prevent this.

See more recipes for baking, which can be prepared from puff pastry. Grated hard cheese puffs are very popular, and now I intend to reveal to you another interesting recipe.

The recipes for puff pastry treats that I advise you to cook will come in handy in case you suddenly have unexpected guests. Yes, and for breakfast, such pastries with cheese will cheer up your beloved family. Use pre-made puff pastry and cheese filling for the base, and the result will not disappoint you.

Cheese puffs require you to have the following ingredients: half a kilogram of puff yeast-free dough; 150 g hard cheese.

In order to grease the puffs, you will need one chicken egg.

Recipe puff pastry with cheese from puff pastry in the oven is as follows:

1. Grate cheese on a coarse grater.
2. Roll out homemade puff pastry, the preparation of which you were busy the day before, into a layer no more than 4 mm thick.
3. Now start dividing the puff pastry into square pieces. Choose the size of the side at your discretion, but I advise not to exceed 10 cm.
4. Puffs consist of two squares of dough: put the filling with cheese on one, and cover and pinch the edges with the other. To make the puff look original, you need to make grooves along the edges of the fork with the prongs of the fork.

Before baking with puff pastry cheese is in a hot oven, it must be brushed with a beaten egg. To simplify the process, use a silicone brush. I do not recommend applying the egg mixture with an ordinary paint brush, even if it is thoroughly washed under running water.

From it, small hairs may remain on the surface of the puff pastry without yeast, and this will completely spoil the good impression of the taste of the puff. After baking, the dough will be covered with a shiny appetizing crust.

Such puffs can be not only with cheese, they are also prepared with other fillings, because quick puff pastry is perfect for these purposes. Choose recipes that you and your family like.

These recipes will allow you to save time and quickly prepare a treat for morning or evening tea, for which you need a dough made by yourself.

Believe me, words of gratitude are provided to you. Puffs are served to the table with tea, coffee, and other drinks that are loved in your home.

Beef liver for pies should be fresh, dark cherry in color with a slightly sweet smell. A characteristic feature of this valuable offal is a transparent thin film that covers the entire outer surface of the liver. Soak it in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking. During this time, the surface film will turn white and bitterness will go away. The film must be carefully separated by prying off the edge with a sharp knife. After that, the liver should be cut into small cubes. You can pre-put in the freezer for 30 minutes, then it is more convenient to cut

Puff pastry for bags should be rolled out into a layer 3-4 mm thick. In order not to stick, it must be sprinkled with flour on both sides.

Gather the edges of the square and squeeze tightly, giving the pies the shape of bags. Then brush them with egg yolk.


Puff pastry bags with beef liver should be spaced 3 cm apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. They should be baked at 200 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
