Puff pastry
To simplify the task of cooking pineapple in puff pastry, you can buy a semi-finished product in a store. The choice of frozen puff pastry on the shelves is great, and choosing the right one will not be difficult, but why not try to cook it with your own hands?

- butter - 600 g;
- eggs - 3 pcs.;
- water - 1 cup;
- salt - 0.5 tsp;
- vinegar - 8-10 drops.
Sugar is added to puff pastry as needed to your taste, for example, for our puffs add half a glass of sugar, it will be fine.
Prepare a deep clean bowl, pour 4 cups of flour into it. In a slide of flour, make a depression, beat in the eggs, add vinegar and salt, pour in water.
First, knead the dough with a spoon until the eggs and water and flour are mixed together. Next, knead with your hands. If your dough is too sticky, add flour, but just a little. The dough should not be cool, especially since in the process of rolling you often powder the table with flour.
Collect the dough in a lump and leave for 10-15 minutes under a towel.
At this time, divide the cold, even frozen butter, into four parts, send three of them to the refrigerator, and grate a quarter.
Roll out the dough into a square layer a centimeter thick and sprinkle generously with oil. Fold the square in half several times.
Having once again dusted the table with flour, roll the dough with butter into a layer of a centimeter thickness, fold it and send it to the refrigerator for half an hour.
After half an hour, roll out the dough again and sprinkle with butter again. No need to lay out the folded dough, and roll the square.
Roll out the dough until the butter runs out.
When baking, butter will turn our dough into a puff. This is the whole secret of cooking puff pastry. The main thing is to use only butter, not spread or margarine, otherwise you will not achieve the expected result.
