I have baked with gluten free pastry from Coles and Woolworths Simply Wize. My results have not been good, and they almost always end up being to tick, or cracked, or not cooked through properly.
Champagne & Gumboots is a YouTube channel that includes some great tips for baking and cooking Ceoliac Friendly gluten free foods. I came accross this video entitled, “Coles Gluten Free Pastry vs Simply Wize (3 TIPS TO MAKING GF FROZEN PASTRY WORK EVERY SINGLE TIME)” that looks to help a lot, and I’m looking forward to giving it a try next time I get gluten free puff pastry from Woolworths or Coles.
The three tips that she highlights are:
- Use it as soon as possible.
- Defrost it completely. Have patience as this could take longer than you think (15-minutes).
- Roll it out. The pastry is too thick to start with. Roll it between two pieces of baking paper.
Using these tips I am hoping for better results next time I use these puff pastry sheets.
