EASIEST PUFF PASTRY
The glorious puff pastry.. you can use it to make danish, pies, croissants, and so much more. With a little creativity the limits are endless. You don’t need to go crazy. A little butter and cinnamon sugar can take you a long way.Puff pastry is not just limited to sweets. Puff pastry is absolutely wonderful for savory dishes as well! Chicken pot pie or savory cheesy broccoli puffs are some of my favorites! Start with your 2 and 1/2 sticks of butter. Make sure to keep 4 Tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter separate! Cut your butter into cubes. Place in fridge to chill.
You’re going to want COLD water so go ahead and measure out your water
(1/2 cup) and place in the fridge.
2. Measure out your all-purpose flour (2 cups) and put in food processor.
3. Take out your cubed butter and add the 1/2 stick or 4 Tablespoons to the flour. Pulse a few time until the butter is completely combined into the flour.
4. Add the rest of the cubed butter and 1 teaspoon salt.
5. Slowly pulse until butter is in pea sized pieces.
6. Add COLD water.
7. Pulse until the dough comes together into a ball. It will be slightly crumbly and that is okay!
This should not take long! You want chunks of butter so don't over-process the dough.8. Flatten dough slightly with hands and try and shape into a rectangle. Put dough in between two pieces of plastic wrap. Roll with rolling pin until you get your desired shape.About 1/2 inch thickness.
9. Peel away the top layer of plastic wrap and fold the dough in thirds unto itself from each side. (see below for photo reference)
10. Roll up dough from one end making one big cylinder shape
Flatten down the cylinder a bit with your hand. (like above)
11. Wrap dough and place in fridge for at least an hour. or until firm and your dough is ready to be used!
STORAGE:
Keep refrigerated and use within 2 to 3 days. Or freeze for up to a month and defrost in fridge overnight before using.
HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN BREAD USING YOUR CARVED PUMPKIN
Carving pumpkins? Don’t know what to do with the pumpkin guts that you scoop out of the pumpkin? I got the perfect thing for you. Instead of throwing out those pumpkin guts make a delicious pumpkin bread out of it!This bread is super easy and not to mention absolutely delicious! It was gone between the two of us in two days! I love it! I wasn't sure how this recipe was going to turn out but I was VERY happy with the end result. I hope you decide to try it and love it as much as I do.The best part about this recipe is you’re really getting the bang out of your buck. A lot of people get pumpkins to carve and let all the delicious insides go to waste. It’s a sad thought, when you can so easily make a delicious pumpkin bread instead.Preheat oven to 350 Degrees Fahrenheit
You want to start with your pumpkin guts. This is the the stringy stuff on the inside of your pumpkin.
Separate the seeds from the stringy guts. We won’t be using the seeds in this recipe. But you can roast the pumpkin seeds for a delicious snack!
2. Puree fresh pumpkin guts in a food processor or blender until smooth. (you will need 1 Cup of pureed pumpkin guts which equals to about 2 cups not pureed)
3. Mix together 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1 and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
4. Separately mix together 1 and 1/2 cups sugar, pumpkin puree, 2 eggs, 1/2 cup canola oil, 1/4 cup water.
5. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
6.Grease a loaf pan and pour your batter in it.
FOR TOPPING
7. For topping, mix together 1/3 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2/3 cup all purpose flour.
8. Melt 4 Tablespoons or half a stick of unsalted butter and mix into flour mixture until crumbly.
9.Crumble Mixture on top of batter.
10. Bake in oven for about an hour or until baked through.
Serve up and enjoy. You can eat it as is which is honestly how I eat it cause it's that delicious! Although, walnuts in the batter would be a delicious add-in! You can heat it up a little in the toaster oven or microwave which is always a good idea. You can top it with ice-cream, whipped cream, and/or caramel. Anything that your heart desires :)
