🧈 Gordon Ramsay Puff Pastry Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter cold (227g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (240g)
  • 1 Tbsp sugar (12g)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (2g)
  • 8-10 Tbsp cold water (120-150 mL

🥟 How To Make Gordon Ramsay Puff Pastry

  1. Freeze the butter for 10 minutes.
  2. Whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Incorporate the grated frozen butter into the flour. (Slice the butter that won’t grate so easily.) Coat the butter in the flour mixture by tossing it with your hands.
  4. Pour 6 tablespoons of water over the mixture and stir until it forms clumps. Stir in the remaining water, tablespoon by tablespoon, until a crumbly dough forms. (Squeezing it should cause it to stay put.)
  5. Work the dough into a cohesive mass by gently kneading it a few times in the bowl. Wrap carefully in plastic wrap after shaping into a square that is ½ inch thick. Leave to cool for one hour.
  6. Reroll the cold dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle on a surface lightly dusted with flour.
  7. Arrange the dough in thirds, as if folding a letter. Adjust to a 90-degree. Do the rolling, folding, and rotating process 3 more times.
  8. Wrap securely, fold back into thirds, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

💭 Recipe Tips

  • Grate butter for quicker lamination; avoid using cubed or roughly chopped butter.
  • Watch for warm weather; chill dough if it feels warm during rolling.
  • If the dough feels rubbery or shrinks, chill in the fridge during laminating.
  • Thaw frozen dough in the fridge to prevent cracking.
  • Double-wrap dough before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
  • Chill the mixing bowl to keep the dough cool during kneading.
  • Use minimal flour; over-flouring leads to toughness and prevents layer adhesion.
