What is Puff Pastry?
A. Puff Pastry is a light, flaky pastry made by layering shortening and pastry dough, then rolling out and folding the dough repeatedly. This painstaking process yields a pastry made of dozens of layers. The pastry “puffs” when baked because the moisture in the butter creates steam between the layers, causing them to separate. Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry is ready to bake, so you can skip the work and still enjoy perfectly made golden, flaky pastry.
