Rough Puff Pastry
Enjoying homemade pastry is delicious as much as it is fun, not to mention the amazing things you can create. Sweet, or savoury, complimentary from pie or make it the main part of the dish. This recipe ensures an easy understanding and, hopefully, a yummy outcome.
- 125 g butter grated then frozen
- 100 g plain flour chilled
- 85 g wholemeal spelt flour chilled
- 1 tsp salt flakes
- 1 tsp vinegar chilled
- ⅓ cup cold water
Add the flours and salt to the bowl of a food processor and blitz to combine. Add the frozen grated butter, then pulse until the butter is just chopped into the flour.
Sprinkle the vinegar and chilled water over the flour/butter mixture and pulse to it just to bring it together. At this point, press a small amount of mixture between your fingers - if it holds together easily, there is no need to add more water. If it doesn't, add another teaspoon of chilled water, then test again.
Tip the pastry onto a clean work surface and bring it together with your hands. Knead lightly into a smooth ball; you should still see streaks of butter in the dough. Shape into a disc, wrap in cling film and place in the fridge to rest for at least 30 mins.
Roll out on a lightly floured bench to the desired size.
