Description

Flaky, buttery, and 100% gluten-free, this puff pastry recipe is perfect for savory pies, sweet tarts, and everything in between. Easy to make and freezer-friendly!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups gluten-free flour blend (with xanthan gum)

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cubed and chilled

  • ½ to ¾ cup cold water


Instructions

  • Mix dry ingredients
    In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt.

  • Cut in butter
    Add cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter to blend until pea-sized chunks remain.

  • Add water
    Slowly drizzle in cold water, mixing gently until a shaggy dough forms.

  • Chill
    Wrap dough in plastic and chill for 30–60 minutes.

  • Roll & fold (laminate)
    On a floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle. Fold into thirds (like a letter). Rotate, re-roll, and repeat 4–5 times, chilling after every 2 folds.

  • Bake or freeze
    Use immediately, refrigerate for up to 48 hours, or freeze for up to 2 months. Bake at 400–425°F until golden brown and puffy.

Notes

  • Works great for both sweet and savory recipes

  • Keep butter cold during every step for best results

  • Don’t overwork the dough to maintain flakiness
