Keto Vegan Puff Pastry
Making Keto pastry from scratch can be challenging, let alone vegan Keto puff pastry. This recipe uses homemade vegan butter to create the flaky layers that we all love. With this dough, you can recreate many Keto-friendly versions of popular recipes such as Danish pastry, pies, and galettes.
How to Make It
Step 1
To a microwave-safe bowl, add the cocoa butter. Heat it in the microwave until it melts. Set it aside for 30-45 minutes until the butter starts becoming opaque.
Step 2
Whisk in the oil. Drizzle the almond milk with one hand while whisking with the other. The mixture will start to emulsify and firm up.
Step 3
Transfer the vegan butter to a piece of parchment paper. Press to flatten it and shape it into a rectangle. Place it in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4
To a food processor, add the almond flour, wheat gluten, oat fiber, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt. Pulse until a fine powder forms. Cut the cold butter into small cubes.
Step 5
Add half the butter to the food processor and pulse until combined. The mixture should look like bread crumbs. Add the remaining butter.
Step 6
Pulse a couple of times until the remaining butter is barely combined. You should see chunks of butter throughout the mixture. Transfer it to a large bowl.
Step 7
Pour the cold water and mix with a spoon until a rough dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of water. Press the dough into a ball.
Step 8
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and press to flatten it. Place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Unwrap your dough and flour your work surface and rolling pin with bamboo fiber. Place the dough on your work surface. Roll it out vertically into a long rectangle.
Step 10
Grab the upper third of the rectangle and fold it over the center. Grab the lower third, and fold it over the center as well, ending up with a three-layered dough.
Step 11
Rotate the dough 90 degrees, and roll it out vertically into a long rectangle again. Fold the upper and lower thirds toward the center as you did previously, rotate, and repeat. Roll out and fold the dough 3-5 more times; this is what creates the layers.
Step 12
At this point, you can either refrigerate it or bake it. To bake the puff pastry, preheat your oven to 400 F/200C. Roll out the dough to your desired thickness.
Step 13
Cut the dough to the size you prefer. Bake for 15-30 minutes, depending on its size and thickness. Serve immediately.
