How to Roll Puff Pastry
How to Roll Puff Pastry
- For best results when rolling out puff pastry use a large, clean dry area of the work surface and lightly dust it with plain flour.
- Place pastry dough on surface and lightly dust it and the rolling pin with flour.
- Roll pastry firmly, always rolling away from you, give the dough 2-3 rolls.
- Then turn the dough a quarter turn.
- Dust again if necessary and continue rolling out, frequently turning the pastry so it is not always rolled in the same direction as this causes shrinkage.
- When the pastry has increased in size, pick it up to turn by rolling it round the rolling pin.
- Lift the pin with the pastry around it carefully and turn it to lay out and continue rolling. Again this is done to prevent the pastry from stretching as you lift it which in turn would result in shrinkage in baking. Puff pastry should be rolled out to approx. 4-5 mm depth.
- To re- roll puff pastry once you have cut something out from the main piece, layer up all the trimmings, folding to achieve approximately an even stack.
- Press stack lightly together with fingers.
- Then roll out as before.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (200°C in a fan oven)/Gas mark 7.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan, stir in the onions and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the honey and oregano, mix well and cool.
- Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut out a 23 cm (9in) circle. Place on a baking tray, prick the pastry all over with a fork and chill in the refrigerator.
- Scatter the onions over the pastry and bake in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.
- Slice the goat’s cheese into thin slices. Remove the pizza from the oven and arrange the goats’ cheese slices over the top. Return to the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the pastry is crisp.
- Scatter the rocket over the top, cut into-slices and serve.
Top tips!
Take the pastry out of the fridge and remove from the box approximately 10 minutes before you are ready to use it, as it will be easier to work with.
Delicious eaten hot, or cold in a lunchbox the next day.
For a super quick short cut, use a good quality onion marmalade instead of the onions and honey!
If you roll the puff pastry sheet with a rolling pin, you will compress the carefully constructed layers and your puff pastry won’t rise as much. If you need to stretch the pastry sheet, do it gently with your hands.
