1-In a food processor with a metal blade, combine 2 cups of flour and ¼ teaspoon salt. Add ¾ cup of the cold butter cubes and pulse about 10 to 12 times until the butter is absorbed.

2-Add the remaining butter cubes and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine.

3-Pour in ½ cup of very cold water and pulse 4 to 5 times until the dough forms a ball, being careful not to over-process.

4-Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, knead lightly about 10 times, then roll out into a 12 by 18-inch rectangle.

5-Fold the dough like an envelope, then fold in half again. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

6-Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) before baking.

7-Once chilled, roll it out for your favorite fillings, like ham and cheese roll-ups. For added shine, brush on an egg wash made from one beaten egg and a tablespoon of water. This step ensures your easy and delicious puff pastry baking turns out just right, with tips like keeping everything cold to maintain flakiness.
