Frequently Asked Questions
Is puff pastry refrigerated or frozen?▼
Puff pastry is sold frozen. You will find it in the frozen foods aisle, not in the refrigerated section. It needs to thaw for about 30-40 minutes at room temperature before using.
What is the difference between puff pastry and phyllo dough?▼
Puff pastry is a thick, buttery dough that puffs up into flaky layers when baked. Phyllo dough is paper-thin sheets that are layered and brushed with butter or oil. They are shelved near each other but are not interchangeable.
Can I use puff pastry for pie crust?▼
Yes, puff pastry works as a pie crust substitute and gives a flakier, more layered result. It is especially popular for pot pies and galettes.
