- Make an upside pineapple pastry by placing honey, cinnamon, and a sliced pineapple under a puff pastry. You might have to cut the puff pastry into circles in order for them to fit over the pineapple slices.
- Layer olive oil, tomato, and parmesan cheese. Spread an herby cheese mixture in the middle of the puff pastry sheet and place that down on top of the tomato.
Recipe FAQs
Puff pastry is a light and flaky dough made from layers of butter. It is used in both savory and sweet dishes.
Puff pastry and crescent roll are made from a lot of the same ingredients but the process to make both of these ingredients is very different.
Always store leftovers in clean, food-grade containers. The type of container doesn’t really matter. Use zip lock, glass, plastic, whatever! Make sure to store any leftovers in an airtight container before putting it in the freezer or fridge.
