Puff Pastries

Puff pastry is a light, flaky dough used as a base in a wide range of sweet and savory dishes. Made from layers of butter, flour, salt, and water, the pastry undergoes a unique folding process that creates its signature delicate, airy texture. Puff pastry is common in European cuisine, particularly in French baking, and is a versatile ingredient for home cooks and professional chefs alike. The uses of puff pastry are vast and include a plethora of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Common dishes made with puff pastry are tarts, turnovers, and pies, as well as the famous French pastries like croissants and palmiers.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does puff pastry expire?
Unopened frozen puff pastry, if kept properly frozen, can last up to ten months past its 'best before' date. But once you've thawed that frozen puff pastry package (which should be done in your fridge, and not at room temp), use it within 3 to 4 days. If the puff pastry has been opened and kept refrigerated, it should also be used within 3 to 4 days. Homemade puff pastry can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
How do you tell if puff pastry is bad?
One of the most reliable signs the puff pastry has gone bad is a change in color. If your pastry looks a bit duller than when you first bought it, or if it now has a gray or yellow tinge, it's probably time to bid it farewell. Also, take a moment to smell the pastry. If it smells sour or off in any way, it's best not to risk it. Another telltale sign of spoilage is if the dough is sticky or no longer smooth.
Tips for storing puff pastry to extend shelf life
• Keep puff pastry in the freezer for a longer shelf-life. It can be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator when ready to use. • If you've made puff pastry from scratch, consider freezing the portion you're not immediately using. • Once the puff pastry package has been opened, wrap any unused pastry tightly in plastic wrap before storing it in the fridge to prevent it from drying out. • If you wish to freeze baked puff pastry items, let them cool completely before placing in airtight containers or heavy-duty freezer bags.
