Blitz Puff Pastry

Blitz puff dough gets its name because it is a fast method for producing flaky puff dough and “blitz” means lightning. The trick to making quality blitz dough is that it is very important the dough be rolled thin enough to flatten the butter sufficiently to achieve the “puff” effect when the dough is baked. This dough will not have as even and high a rise as traditional puff dough and should not be used to make vol-au-vents.
