What it is
Puff pastry dough is a light, flaky pastry made from layered dough and butter. The dough is repeatedly rolled and folded to create many thin layers of dough separated by butter. When baked, the water in the butter turns to steam, causing the layers to separate and puff up.
Why it's used
Puff pastry dough is used to create a flaky, crisp texture in baked goods. Manufacturers use it in both sweet and savory applications, including pastries, turnovers, tarts, and as a topping for dishes like pot pies.
Health notes
Puff pastry dough is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of calories and fat. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar dough preparations. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Puff pastry dough contains wheat, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It also contains gluten. Depending on the specific recipe, it may also contain milk or egg.
