You can let the puff pastry do all the work, and keep all the flaky, layered glory for yourself. The best part about puff pastry is how EASY it is to use it to create impressive dishes that look way more difficult than they actually are. Check out our 33 best puff pastry recipes for inspiration on what to do with it (hint: EVERYTHING). We always keep a stash of the stuff in our freezer, and recommend you do too. Luckily, buying frozen or store-bought is a cinch and works just as well. It's a real game-changer in the kitchen, but making it from scratch is a rather involved process, including lots of butter and lots of dough folding. Sounds awesome, right? Puff pastry dough makes it all possible. Think of the flaky layers in a croissant, then imagine them in everything from appetizers to desserts.
