Pastry is dough made from flour, fat, and
water
Eggs, cheese, or sugar can be added for a
richer dough
A variety of dishes can be made with the
different kinds of pastry
Light golden brown color
Lightness :- not heavy
Tenderness – beaks easily when bitten
Shortness – short crust pastry crumble easily
without breaking up
Acceptable flavor
Two main types of pastry :-
Short crust Pastry
• Used for base of Tart, quiche
• Does not puff up due to absence of leavening
agents
Puff Pastry
• Contain equal weights of fat and flour
Short Crust Pastry Puff Pastry
FLOUR
Wheat Flour
Too much flour results in tough dry and
flavorless recipe
Too lillte results in flat, tough and flavorless
baked good
FAT
• To give texture to the final product
• Depending upon the kind of fat used, the
pastry will also have certain flavor.
WATER
• Too little water in pastry causes the pastry is to
be crumbly and dry
• Too much, over mixing develops too much
gluten which causes a tough pastry.
Leavening Agents
Baking powder and
Baking soda can be
Used to leaven
Salt
To improves and enhances
The flavor of final product,
But don’t leave it out
Rich, buttery dough that bakes into hundreds of
light crispy layers
Rolled-in dough like danish and croissant dough
but no yeast content
Steam serve as the leavening agent; can rise to
eight times to its original thickness when baked
Butter is the preferred fat for rolling in
1. Make a well in the mound of flour and add
the liquid
2. Work the ingredients into a dough
3. Knead the dough until smooth. Then roll it
out into a large rectangle
4. To prepare the butter, first soften it by beating it
with a rolling
5. Square off the butter. Roll it into a smooth
rectangle two-thirds the size of the dough rectangle
6. Place the butter on the dough so it covers the
bottom two-thirds of the rectangle
7. Fold down the top, unbuttered third of the
dough so it covers half the butter
8. Fold the butter third over the center. The
butter is now enclosed.
9. Togive the dough its first four fold, roll the
dough into a long rectangle. Before rolling,
beat the dough lightly as shown so that the
butter is evenly distributed
10. Before folding, always brush off excess
dusting flour
11. Fold down the top edge of the
dough to the center
12.Fold up the bottom edge to the
center
13. Fold in half to achieve the finished
four fold
Dough should be cool when it is rolled and cut
Avoid touching the cut edges with the finger,
layers may stick together
Baking temperature of 400° to 425 °F (200 ° to
220 °C) are best for most puff dough products
FAULTS CAUSES
Shrinkage during baking Dough not relax during baking
Uneven lift or irregular shapes Improper rolling in procedure
Uneven distribution of fat before
rolling
Dough not relaxed before baking
Uneven heat in oven
Fat running out during baking Too much fat used
