Cooks Tips

Thaw the pastry sheet for 5 to 10 minutes at room temperature before cutting. The time varies according to the room temperature.

For quick and even cutting, work on a lightly floured surface using a pizza cutter to slice puff pastry as recipe directs. Use a ruler as a guide for accuracy.
