What is Puff Pastry? Where can I find Puff Pastry?

Puff pastry is a flaky pastry made from a laminated dough composed of sough and butter. The butter is place inside two layer of dough and rolled out to create a very line layer of butter in-between the dough. It is repeat so that when baked it's very flaky - think of a croissant!

Puff pastry dough can be found in the frozen aisle near pie crusts and desserts. Make sure you thaw the dough overnight in the fridge. If you're in a pinch, thaw 30 minutes - 1 hour at room temperature. Keep a close eye on the dough because you want it JUST thawed, not warmed (or it won't be as flaky).

Can the puff pastry bites be made in advance?

Yes, you can prep this appetizer in advance both unbaked and baked versions. If unbaked, prep up to 12 hours in advance (so like the night before). If baked, prep up to 1 day in advance and reheat at 350F for 5-8 minutes the next day (keep a close eye on them as you don't want them to burn).
