How long does it take to make Store-bought dough?

Thaw puff pastry overnight in the fridge and work with it cold, and return what you're not using to the fridge right away: melted butter soaks into the dough and it won't puff.

Step by Step

How to Tell It's Done

• until pliable but still cold

Tips

• Work with store-bought dough while it's cold: warm puff pastry gets sticky and won't puff in the oven, and phyllo sheets dry out fast, so keep the waiting sheets covered with a damp towel.

More Ways

• Keep phyllo covered with a towel so the sheets don't dry out, and brush each sheet with oil or butter.
