Cheesy Mushroom Spinach Puff Pastry Recipe from whitneybond.com
Introduction
Puff pastry is a light and flaky pastry that is used in many sweet and savory dishes. It is a staple in many bakeries and kitchens around the world. However, traditional puff pastry recipes call for butter or other animal products, making it unsuitable for vegans. But don't worry! In this article, we will show you a simple and delicious vegan puff pastry recipe that you can make at home.
Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup vegan butter, chilled
1/2 cup ice-cold water
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut the chilled vegan butter into small pieces and add them to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, mix the butter and flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 2: Add Water
Add the ice-cold water to the bowl and mix until the dough comes together. Do not overmix the dough, as this can make it tough. Once the dough comes together, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Step 3: Roll out the Dough
After the dough has chilled, remove it from the fridge and place it on a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Then fold it into thirds, like a letter. Rotate the dough 90 degrees and roll it out again. Repeat this process of folding and rolling two more times, for a total of four times.
Step 4: Use the Puff Pastry
Your vegan puff pastry is now ready to use in any recipe that calls for puff pastry. Use it to make savory dishes like pot pies or empanadas, or sweet treats like turnovers or danishes.
