What is exactly a frozen pastry?

Frozen pastries are regular pieces of dough that have undergone the freezing stage prior to baking. The concept of frozen pastries arises from the trend driven by consumers' appetite to eat fresh food but at chef quality.

While a good puff pastry can be easily made at home, it may not be of the highest restaurant quality. Moreover, pre-made pastries are easier to handle and they save a lot of time leaving more time for everything else you love doing.

How long to thaw before we roll the dough?

Generally, frozen pastries can be thawed for 30 minutes at room temperature (unless your room is close to freezing like ice water). Usually, they are ready on the work surface and rolling pin within 40 minutes after being out of the freezer. Also, unused pastries- You can wrap them in plastic and freeze them again.

So, even if you fold the dough by mistake, you won't need to waste it.
