Have you ever made puff pastry from scratch? If so, you’ll know that it’s not a quick and fuss-free affair! Which is why we totally don’t judge you for using the store-bought variety at home. In fact, it often comes in a rolled up shape which makes it a snug fit for your freezer.
Note: It’s best to defrost it in the fridge a day or two before you need to use it. If you take it out and allow it to soften at room temperature, it will warm up too quickly which can result in too much moisture being released (condensation), causing the pastry to become soggy.
