What it is

Puff pastry is a light, flaky dough made from layers of butter and dough. The dough is repeatedly rolled and folded, creating many thin layers of dough separated by butter. When baked, the water in the butter turns to steam, causing the layers to puff up and separate.

Why it's used

Puff pastry is used to create a variety of baked goods, both sweet and savory. Its flaky texture makes it ideal for items like turnovers, tarts, vol-au-vents, and as a topping for casseroles. Manufacturers use it for its desirable texture and appearance.

Health notes

Puff pastry itself is a food ingredient and not subject to FDA additive regulations. It is a source of calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated similar pastry products, but no specific health advisories are associated with puff pastry at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from its consumption.

Allergen info

Puff pastry typically contains wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It may also contain milk or egg, depending on the specific recipe. Gluten is present due to the wheat flour.
