Puff Pastry with Poached Fruit

For the puff pastry with poached fruit, first make the puff pastry.

To do this, sift the flour, form a bulge in the middle. Pour in 50 ml of water and a good pinch of salt, knead with your fingers until a firm dough is formed. Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Roll out on a work surface to form a rectangle. Place butter in the center of the rectangle, fold dough over from both sides and roll out repeatedly to form a rectangle.

Wrap dough at least three times from both sides and roll out to rectangle. The more often you do these “tours”, the more layered and fine the dough will be.

In between, the dough must cool for 15 minutes so that the butter does not become too soft. Roll out the dough to a thickness of 2 mm. Cut out a large rectangle and two 2 cm wide strips as a topping for the long sides.

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees. Moisten a baking tray with water and place the rectangle on it. Brush the edges of the sheet with water or possibly egg yolk and “stick” the two strips of pastry.

This way the puff pastry will keep its rectangular shape during baking. If you don’t put edges, the dough will rise in all directions and lose its shape. Poke holes in the top and edges with a fork.

Bake the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven for about 10 minutesat 220 °C. Reduce the temperature to 140-160 °C and bake for another 10 minutes. Next, cool the pastry sheet on a broiler.
