Puff pastry

Puff pastry, also known as pâte feuilletée, is a light, flaky pastry, its base dough composed of wheat flour and water. Butter or other solid fat is then layered into the dough. The dough is repeatedly rolled and folded, rested, re-rolled and folded, encasing solid butter between each resulting layer.
