This recipe a long time ago shared with me a friend-the Georgian town of Borjomi. With this puff pastry there decided to cook khachapuri. But try to prepare it once, I began to use it for other pies. As they say, all ingenious - is simple! (and quickly). Try it and see for yourself. Water should be mineral water, but if not, then you can use any other mineral water WITH GAS, as long as it was not fake, but real mineral water. Preferably, in glass bottle and from a trusted source. Depends on the quality of the test. So, let's start. Sift flour, preferably twice, to saturate it with oxygen. Immediately add salt. If mineral water is salty, the salt dough can not add or add to a minimum.

Take mineral water at room temperature. We do not sell mineral water, therefore use it, that is. Knead uncool dough, semi-liquid, to stick to the hands. We are in the process of cooking will have to drive it in flour, so be careful not to pereotsenit. Suppose first that it will be softer. P. S. All pictures are enlarged by clicking on them.

Work surface sprinkle with flour, spread the dough ball. Coat both sides in flour, if it continues to stick, gradually add the required amount of flour, but not peretyagivaet. Ensure that the table was constantly sprinkled with flour so the dough doesn't stick. This is important. Also grease a rolling pin with flour.

Roll out the dough with a thickness of about 0.3-0.5 cm no Matter what shape, most importantly, roll it out thinner.

At this point we should be ready melted to a liquid state butter. The test I was preparing a little, so I got the correct amount of oil. You are watching necessary. Well, let's say, on such a small pellet 30-40 grams of oil is enough.

Liberally grease with melted butter our dough across the surface, not to forget the edges. Oil do not regret! If greasy is not good, you can thin stream to the butter batter and quickly spread across the surface. P. S. Those who are strictly fasting, can skip this step, or replace the butter vegetable, but I have not tried this method and can't vouch for the result.

Cut the dough into strips with a width of approximately 2-3 cm. do Not forget that the table was sprinkled with flour, otherwise the strip will stick and deform.

Next, stack the strips in a column at each other, gently, holding both hands to the column has not collapsed (need to adjust).

The result is something like this (I have this time the dough turned out softer than we had, probably, due to the "wrong" soda. It should be more tight that the strips are not spreading and was going in a smoother style).

In the same position as it was collected, not laying flat, roll our column in this wheel:

Our "wheel" is puff pastry.

For especially meticulous: you Can re-roll it, brush with oil, cut into strips and assemble, that is, to do the whole procedure a second time. Preferably, but not necessarily. If you're in a hurry, you can do one at a time.

Put the dough our flat (you can see that there are already visible layers). Mash by hand in the cake. Now you can shape it into cakes. Bon appetit!
