    Chef, I have taught this version of puff pastry in culinary schools for many years. It is referred to as "Blitz" pastry and your presentation is both impeccable and precise. THANK YOU
  • This was sooooo relaxing to watch, and I can't wait to try this recipe! As a nice bonus, the sound of his hands patting the dough has a relaxing ASMR effect. 😌
  • @edwardromana
    Roll the long side of the dough so that it is 3 times the width, that way, after folding into 3 layers it is back to a square again. Easy, no tape measure. Thank You!! Chef for this easy recipe. And thank you for explaining the result differences between this simpler recipe and the traditional way of making puff pastry.
  • @castraova
    Of all demos I have seen, this is the most simple one of all. thank you, thank you.
  • Finally, a chef that shows an easy way to make this pastry, I never could make it but I'm on my way to the kitchen, Thank you Chef
  • Thank you so much! We were making a Beef Wellington for Christmas dinner and wanted a pastry that didn’t take so long to make. This was perfect!!
  • @sepj2861
    Thanks so much Stephen for your great work here on this channel! your work of mixing cooking science with math is amazing in this recipe :) Your channel has been so inspiring for me to try to get into French cooking.
  • I LOVE this channel. The Facebook algorithms rarely send me his videos, but every one of his recipes I have recreated turned out fantastic! I am sure this will be the same!
  • @tuffguy007
    Can't wait to try. Thanks so much for these wonderful lessons. Merci!
  • @ophliablue
    I am so excited for this video, Stephane!! I was really hoping one of you brilliant YouTube culinary professors would come up with a reasonable puff pastry shortcut technique. I can’t wait to try this, bravo!
  • @torichill7294
    Wow lovely finally I'm going to get my puff pastry done to perfection yay gonna try it out soon
  • @20yearsago88
    Love that kitchen window...must provide a lot of natural light for the entire kitchen on sunny days!!🌞☀️👍🏼
  • @MK-tn6pz
    Thank you for the excellent lesson. The supermarket was out of puff pastry but that, now in hindsight, was a good thing. I decided to make only half as this was my first attempt at puff pastry and a Gallette Des Rois. After reasearching the best flour I used part all purpose and part bread flour. I made a small Gallette yesterday filled with frangipane. I can't figure out how to attach a picture but it was very good if I do say so myself and picture worthy. You are right. I probably never need to buy puff pastry again. I keep butter in my freezer because I bake alot and now can add this to my repertoire. I am going to make some Chinese curry filled puff pastry next.
  • This is what I’ve always called rough puff pastry. As an alternative to butter I sometimes use suet instead which makes a beautiful lid for meat pies!
  • @createinspain
    There is an even easier version. You stir the cold butter chunks into the flour, add enough ice cold water to make a sticky dough - DO NOT break the butter up any more. Wrap and chill. Roll and fold as here. Leave it when there are still streaks.
  • @roselui1
    Thank you so much. Your puff pastry is so easy and simple and delicious.
  • @happycze
    Its not what someone would expect from puff pastry, but you are honest and clear enough about it in the video 😉 Tried this, its simple, quick, and gives results 😎
