Everything you need to know about Puff Pastry

These three pastry types are all delicious, and all very different. Puff pastry is a light and flaky pastry that is perfect for pies, pastries and tarts. Shortcrust pastry is a thicker pastry with a crumblier texture that makes a great base for pies, quiches, and tarts with wet fillings. Filo pastry is a very thin pastry made up of lots of layers that is crunchy when cooked and ideal for light fillings, like spinach or goat's cheese.
For a flaky tart without a soggy bottom, brush a layer of egg white on the pastry before adding your filling. This creates a barrier to stop liquid soaking into your pastry.
You don’t have to coat your pastry with an egg wash before baking, but it does give your tart a nice, glossy finish. An egg wash can also be great for sealing up sausage rolls or individual pasties. Out of eggs? Oil, butter or honey can be swapped in.
While puff pastry isn’t normally gluten free, there are alternatives made with different types of flour. Our gluten free puff pastry makes it easy to bake tarts, pies and pastries without the gluten.
When puff pastry doesn’t rise, oven temperature is normally to blame. For puff pastry, you want your oven preheated to at least 220°C (200°C for fan assisted ovens) /Gas Mark 7, unless your recipe says otherwise.
Uncooked puff pastry can last up to three days in the fridge, as long as you seal it up in a container or cling film. If you’ve chosen Jus-Rol pastry, you’ll see a best before date on your chilled pastry packaging. Puff pastry is also suitable for freezing. Defrost in the fridge overnight or for about two hours at room temperature. You can also freeze your pies or pastries before baking, perfect if you want to prep ahead of time.
Blind baking is one way to avoid pies with a soggy bottom and is recommended for shortcrust pastry. For puff pastry, you can normally skip the blind baking part by using an egg wash as a barrier between your pastry and filing or using a fork to prick the areas of pastry that you don’t want to rise.
