Savory Puff Pastries

Although making puff pastry is certainly not quick and easy, using what’s called rough puff pastry instead of the classic puff pastry, as I do, greatly simplifies the procedure, shortening the process by about 2½ hours. I would suggest to anyone approaching puff pastry for the first time that you try the following recipes with store-bought puff pastry first, to get a feel for the dough. Then I recommend that you try it with homemade Rough Puff Pastry. I think you will be surprised not only by the difference in taste, but also by the relative ease with which you can make a truly impressive pastry.
