What temperature to bake puff pastry? ›

Always bake Puff Pastry Shells in a preheated 425° F oven. Bake Puff Pastry Cups in a preheated 400° F oven for 20 minutes. Do not bake either Shells or Cups in a microwave or toaster oven. See our Tips & Techniques page for more baking tips for Puff Pastry Sheets, Shells and Cups.

I use Linda McCartney brand, as these have the best texture, but you could experiment with other types and brands. I don't think this will work with meat sausages, as they have a skin. These aren't the prettiest sausage rolls, but they are the easiest veggie sausage rolls you will ever make!

You can use the entire sheet of puff to make a big tart, shape smaller individual tarts, or even bake the puff inside muffin cups and fill them later. Bake the pastries at 425°F until puffed: Bake just until you see them puff up and just start to brown, roughly 10 minutes.

You can brush an egg-wash glaze (1 egg plus 1 tsp. water) over the Puff Pastry to create a rich, golden sheen when baked. Use an egg wash to help seal filled pastries and connect Puff Pastry pieces: mix 1 egg plus 1 tsp. water, brush between layers, then pinch or press together.

Most pastry chefs bake puff pastry at a relatively high temperature for a rather short amount of time, 375 to 400 degrees for about 20 minutes. The pastry is golden when done. Richard prefers baking it at 325 to 350 degrees for almost one hour to ensure that every layer is properly dried and crisp.

The result is a packet of dough that in fact is made up of many layers of dough and butter. When baked at a high temperature, usually 375° F to 400° F, the layers of butter melt and its moisture creates steam, lifting the sandwiched layers of dough into a crispy puff.

Make sure your oven is hot enough

The Kitchn recommends 400 F, pointing out that lower temperatures won't produce the steam necessary to puff the pastry. Bon Appétit agrees with the 400-degree recommendation, adding that the high temperature will also help achieve the golden brown color so desirable in puff pastry.

Place Puff Pastry shells on ungreased baking sheets with "top" facing up. Place pastry shells about 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Always bake Puff Pastry shells in a preheated 400°F oven.
