Description

This gluten free puff pastry recipe offers a flaky and delicious alternative to traditional puff pastry using gluten free flour. Made with cold butter and a simple dough, it is perfect for sweet or savory fillings. The recipe includes steps for rolling, folding, chilling, and baking to achieve light, golden, crispy puff pastries suitable for various serving occasions.

Ingredients

Dough Ingredients

  • 10 tbsp cold butter, cut into small cubes
  • 1 cup gluten free 1 to 1 flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup cold water

For Assembly

  • 1 egg, whisked (for egg wash)
  • ½ cup jam or jelly (optional filling)
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips (optional filling)

Instructions

  1. Combine Butter and Dry Ingredients: Add cubes of cold butter, gluten free flour, and salt to a food processor. Pulse 4 to 5 times until the mixture becomes crumbly.
  2. Add Cold Water: Pour in cold water and pulse another 4 to 5 times or until the mixture is very crumbly and starts forming small clumps.
  3. Form Dough Ball: Lightly flour the countertop and rolling pin. Pour the crumbly dough onto the floured surface. Use your hands to gather and shape it into one large dough ball.
  4. Roll and Fold Dough: Roll the dough out into a rectangle about ¼ to ½ inch thick. Fold the dough in half, then fold in half again to create layers.
  5. Chill the Dough: Wrap the folded dough tightly and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the butter to firm up and the dough to rest.
  6. Prepare for Baking: Remove the dough from the fridge. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Rest Dough at Room Temperature: Let the dough sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften slightly for easier rolling. If dough breaks, let it rest another 10 minutes.
  8. Roll Out Dough: Roll the dough out on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin into a large rectangle. Cut into desired shapes, such as smaller rectangles, and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  9. Add Fillings: Spoon jam, jelly, or sprinkle chocolate chips onto the center of the dough pieces, leaving about a ½ inch border around the edges for the egg wash.
  10. Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg in a small bowl. Brush the edges of each pastry with the egg wash. Optionally, sprinkle a little granulated sugar on the edges for extra crispness and sweetness.
  11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and crispy, adjusting time if shapes are larger or smaller.
  12. Cool and Serve: Remove pastries from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving to let them firm up and enhance flakiness.

Notes

  • Use gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour to ensure the dough has structure and elasticity.
  • Keep your butter cold to create flaky layers during baking.
  • Allow the dough to rest and chill thoroughly for best puff pastry texture.
  • Let dough come to room temperature before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • Customize fillings with sweet or savory options.
  • The egg wash helps achieve a shiny, golden crust and allows sugar to stick well if used.
