Whole Wheat Puff Pastry Dough 

I am very excited to share with you a super easy recipe of a puff pastry dough made with whole wheat flour that brings its flavor to the absolutely new level.

This whole wheat puff pastry dough could be used as a base for sweet or savory dishes.

The secret is in two ingredients: patience and a high quality whole wheat flour.

The latest discovery for me was the Organic Red Fife wheat flour from Janie’s Mill. It provides exceptional deep flavor to your baked goods, which won’t leave you indifferent.
