teaching :PUFF PASTRY DOUGH, how to buy, how to make
Puff pastry dough is a very difficult dough, to make, it is labelled "FOR EXPERTS", to make.
I am using a lot this dough, and I know how to make it but is ready made, easy to buy and is a very exceptional good dough to buy.
NOTE: VERY IMPORTANT:
If you buy "pepperidge farm" dough, it is full of chemicals, stabilizers, preservatives.... and so on and so on...
"Stop and shop" grocery store has this line of products "SIMPLY ENJOY" that is by far less chemicals and is a very good puff pastry dough and has folowing ingredients (on the box)
ingredients: wheat flour, water, salt, margarine (palm,coconut,sunflower oils+water+mono+
+Di-glyceride+citric acid
It is very unhappy they use margarine, instead of real butter, which is much, much healthy for you... but still it is very low in chemicals and stabilizers.

The "simply enjoy" puff pastry dough box has 2 sheets inside of box, that you can use it.
