What does laminating pastry mean?
The act of laminating dough is the same idea behind laminating anything. You take a batch of dough and roll it out. Then you take butter and spread it over the rolled out dough and fold it into thirds, pulling one end in part way then folding the other end over. You can then either roll it out by hand or the faster way of using a rolling machine. You complete this over and over. The average Puff pastry has 729 layers. Some having up to as many as 2187.
