Preparation, step by step:
To start, sift the 2 and a half cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar into a large bowl.
Then, stir in 1 cup of cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In another container, mix 1 cup of cold water and 2 tablespoons of white vinegar.
Next step, slowly add the liquid to the flour mixture, while stirring until the dough is well integrated.
Then, turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface, knead it a couple of times and stretch it to form a rectangle measuring about 25 by 30 cm.
Next, the rectangle is folded into thirds, like a letter. And again it extends into a rectangle of the same size. Again, fold the rectangle into thirds and wrap the dough in transparent film.
We continue, taking the wrapped dough to the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before rolling it out and using it in our recipe.
When it is time to use the puff pastry, we roll it out on a lightly floured surface until we obtain a rectangle measuring about 30 by 30 cm.
Next step, cut the rectangle into 2 equal pieces and use one of them for the recipe. The other piece is kept in the refrigerator to use in another recipe.
Finally, when we use it, we let the dough heat up for about 15 minutes before rolling it out and using it in your recipe.
