Sourdough Puff Pastry
Go easy on your wallet and your stomach by making this amazing ingredient at home!
Ingredients
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 18 oz cold butter
- ½ cup sourdough discard
- 1 cup cold water
Instructions
- Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
- Grate the butter with a cheese grater and toss into flour with your hands until well combined.
- Add ⅔ cup water to starter and then stir into flour mixture
- Stir to combine, adding water in small amounts as needed
- Transfer onto your counter and gently knead a few times to make it come together. Divide into three equal pieces. They should be about 1 pound each.
- Take one ball and roll into a roughly 6"x 12" rectangle. Don't worry about it being super pretty but it helps if the ends are kinda square.
- Fold it into thirds so you're folding it like a letter. Repeat with other two.
- Put in a bag and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 2 days.
Notes
- Wrap sheets well before freezing. Make sure and allow time to thaw completely in the fridge before using.
- This makes three sheets, which is essentially 3 boxes from the store.
