Puff pastry made with water, salt and butter

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the ingredients. You can warm up the water a little.

2. STEP 2

   

   Dissolve salt in water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift flour (300 g) onto the table or into a bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make a hole.

5. STEP 5

   

   Add water in portions and knead the dough. Add more flour if necessary. Cover the dough with a damp cloth or wrap it in film and leave for half an hour. Melt the butter and leave to cool.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide the dough into 2-4 parts depending on the size of the table. My table is small, so there are 4 parts.

7. STEP 7

   

   Dust the table with flour and roll out as thin as you can without tearing. They say it’s good to dust the dough with starch - then it rolls to amazing fineness. It is advisable to bring the rolled out layer of dough closer in shape to a rectangle.

8. STEP 8

   

   Grease the rolled out layer of dough with oil and roll it into a tight roll, stretching the dough slightly. This will give better density. If the oil is warm, the dough may begin to tear when folding. In this case, try to cool it down - open a window, turn on the air conditioner or fan (just so that the flour does not swell).

9. STEP 9

   

   Repeat the same with the remaining pieces of dough, only when rolling, now wrap the previous roll in a greased layer of dough. Imagine how many layers there will be!

10. STEP 10

    

    Before preparing samsa, cool the dough - put it in the refrigerator or freezer. I cut it up and put it on a board in the freezer. You can roll it up like a snail and put it on a plate. If you are cooking on the same day or the next, then an hour in the refrigerator or 15 minutes in the freezer is enough.
