Prep time: 1 hour 30 minutesCook time: Serves: 8
Ingredients
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup ice water
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp mixed fresh herbs (thyme, rosemary, basil), finely chopped
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour and salt.
2. Add the chilled, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a small bowl, combine the ice water and lemon juice. Gradually add this to the flour mixture, stirring with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
4. Gently fold in the fresh herbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approximately 10x15 inches.
7. Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter, and then roll out again to the same dimensions. Repeat this process three more times, chilling the dough for 15 minutes between each roll.
8. Once the final fold is completed, wrap the dough and chill for at least 1 hour before using.
Storage
Store the puff pastry wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
