Common questions

Should puff pastry be cold when I bake it?
Yes. Warm puff loses the distinct layers of butter or margarine and may bake unevenly. If it softens while shaping, chill it on the tray before baking.
Why did my puff pastry not rise?
Common causes are warm dough, old pastry, crushed layers from heavy rolling, or opening the oven early so steam escapes. Bake at a high enough temperature initially so water in the fat turns to steam and lifts the layers.
Can I egg-wash puff pastry?
Yes. Egg wash gives colour and shine. Brush lightly so you do not seal the edges you want to flake apart; sometimes only the visible top is washed.
Why is my puff pastry soggy underneath?
Wet fillings without pre-baking or docking, or insufficient oven heat on the base, can cause sogginess. Bake on a preheated tray, use a perforated tin or baking stone if needed, and consider blind baking or a drier filling layer.
