How To Make Puff Pastry Christmas Tree

• Let the puff pastry sheets thaw, after which unfold and gently roll into a ten×13 inch rectangle. Place the 2 sheets on high of one another, on a lined baking sheet.
• Utilizing a pointy knife, or perhaps a pizza cutter, minimize into a big triangle. Utilizing the scraps, minimize out a rectangle for the tree trunk and a star for the highest of the tree.
• Subsequent you will want to chop your branches. About each 1 inch going up the tree it would be best to minimize the dough, ensuring to go away about 2 inches within the heart totally intact.

• Fastidiously take away the highest layer of puff pastry after which unfold in your jam! You don’t need to fill it too full or it would simply ooze out the sizes.

Recipe Ideas & Ideas

• Don’t pinch collectively. Normally when you’re filling a dough with one thing you need to pinch the sides collectively so the filling doesn’t escape, however not right here. The twisting of the branches seals within the jam, so don’t fear about that.
• Sharp Knife. Use a pointy knife, even a pizza cutter works rather well to make the cuts within the puff pastry. They don’t must be good, however you don’t need to rip the dough an excessive amount of both.
