Step by step preparation of puff pastry puffs with ham, recipe with photo:
1. Roll out the puff pastry into a thin rectangular layer. Do this in one direction so as not to damage the layered structure of the dough. Place it on a baking sheet greased with a thin layer of butter. If the dough is frozen, then defrost it at room temperature without using the microwave. Remember that puff pastry cannot be re-frozen, so defrost a piece of the desired size right away.
2. With a sharp knife (you can use a round pizza knife), cut the dough into equal 4 pieces.
3. Place ham on one half of each dough and cut it into thin slices.
4. Cover the ham with the free edge of the dough.
5. Puff pastries (especially from yeast dough) have a negative property - they stick out during baking. To prevent this from happening, connect the seams well. It will be nice to grease with an egg (milk) not only the entire surface of the puffs, but also the edges of the dough. This will increase the strength of the glued seams. For beauty, make parallel cuts or mesh cuts on the puffs. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and send the puffs with puff pastry ham to bake for 15-20 minutes.
