Common Puff Pastry Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)
Thaw puff pastry in the refrigerator: Avoid thawing at room temperature to prevent it from becoming sticky.
Use a sharp knife to cut the pastry: This will help maintain its layers.
Handle the dough gently: Overworking the dough can make it tough.
Chill before baking: For best results, place your assembled puff pastry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before baking. This helps it puff up beautifully in the oven!
Don't overcrowd the oven: Bake one sheet of puff pastry at a time to ensure proper air circulation.
