Description

Frozen puff pastry is a versatile and practical ingredient, made from thin layers of dough and butter that, when baked, expand to form a light, crispy, and flaky texture. It is ideal for preparing a wide variety of recipes, from desserts like pies and pastries, to savory dishes such as empanadas, quiches, and stuffed appetizers.

Its origin dates back to European, especially French, culinary tradition, where puff pastry is a staple in classic baking. Currently, the frozen dough facilitates its use worldwide, allowing you to always have this product on hand without the need to prepare it from scratch.

Among its main properties, its quick preparation, versatility, and the ability to achieve a final result with a crispy texture and a delicate flavor that adapts to both sweet and savory fillings stand out. Being frozen, it retains its freshness for longer and maintains its quality until the moment of use.

In different Hispanic American countries, puff pastry may also be known as masa hojaldrada, masa quebrada hojaldrada, or simply hojaldre. It is important not to confuse it with shortcrust pastry, which has a drier and less flaky texture.
