Ingredients for Air Fryer Puff Pastry:
- 4 cups (approx. 500g) All-purpose flour
- 1 cup (250ml) Ice-cold water
- 1 tbsp (15g) Sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) High-quality unsalted butter or puff pastry margarine, chilled
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp (5g) Salt
How to make Air Fryer Puff Pastry:
- Place the butter (or specialized pastry margarine) into a plastic bag and flatten it into a thin rectangle using a rolling pin.
- Place the flattened butter in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, egg, salt, and gradually add the ice-cold water. Mix well.
- If the dough is too dry, add a little more water until you reach the desired consistency.
- Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, adding a little flour as needed to prevent it from getting too sticky.
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Divide the dough into three equal parts.
- Roll out one part of the dough into a rectangle.
- Place the chilled butter rectangle in the center and fold the dough over it, like an envelope.
- Roll the dough out again and fold it into thirds (like a letter).
- Repeat the rolling and folding process three more times, for a total of four folds.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
- After chilling, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape your pastries.
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 5 minutes.
- Place the pastries in the Air Fryer basket, leaving space between them for air circulation.
- Air fry for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the Air Fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Pro Tip:
When shaping your pastries, always lightly dust your surface with flour to prevent the dough from sticking. This makes it easier to handle and ensures a perfect, flaky result in the Air Fryer.
