All you need to please your loved ones with a delicious homemade dessert is time, desire and good mood.
Puff pastry
In order to prepare the dough, you will need the following ingredients:
- Butter or baking margarine - four hundred to five hundred grams.
- One glass of warm water.
- Flour you need to take two and a half to three glasses.
- Salt on the tip of a knife.
- 9% vinegar - three teaspoons.
Cooking dough
Add vinegar and salt to a glass of water. Sift the flour and pour the resulting liquid into it. Knead the dough. To make it fluffy and airy, you need to knead for a long time. When the dough becomes soft and elastic and does not stick to either your hands or the table, you need to put it in a plastic or paper bag and place it for about forty to fifty minutes in the refrigerator. So it will become more elastic and roll out better.
While the dough is cooling, you need to mash butter or margarine. To make the mass homogeneous, pour five or six teaspoons of flour into it, and mix everything very well.
Make a flat square. We take out the dough from the refrigerator and roll it so that the edges are thinner than the middle. Put a layer of oil in the center of the dough, wrap the edges in the form of an envelope. Sprinkle with flour and very light movements roll out the dough from the middle to the edges. It should turn out a square with a thickness of about one and a half to two centimeters. Next, the dough must be folded four times and left to lie down for about thirty to forty minutes. This process of rolling and folding is repeated at least three times.
After that, you can start baking puffs with apricots.
