[The Charm of Frozen Pie Sheets]

① Hassle-Free
Making pastry from scratch is time-consuming and labor-intensive. However, with frozen pie sheets, you simply take them out of the bag, cut them into your desired shapes, wrap your ingredients, and bake them in the oven!

② From Sweets to Appetizers
Another charm of frozen pie sheets is their versatility with any ingredient. Since the sheets are almost completely unsweetened, they can be widely used for sweet treats, as well as for appetizers and savory main dishes!

③ Fun with Various Shapes
Many pie sheets come in convenient sizes and thicknesses of about 18cm square, allowing for endless arrangements—cut them into squares, punch them out with round molds, or roll them up.

④ Long-Term Storage is OK
The shelf life of frozen pie sheets is approximately one year when unopened, and one to two months after opening. They are thin and take up little space, making them a convenient item to stock up on so you can whip up snacks or appetizers at a moment's notice!

Chocolate pies that you can make whenever the mood strikes, introduced in two types with different ingredients and shaping.

For the easiest apple pie, just place thinly sliced apples on top and bake!

Even the familiar bakery staple, the cornet, is easy to make at home if you have pie sheets!

For cute fruit danishes, add a little twist to the cream to make them even more delicious.

Even the popular galette des rois from a patisserie can be made this beautifully at home!

For the coveted strawberry mille-feuille, the secrets to baking the crust to a perfect crisp are fully revealed!

Recipes for bacon epi pies and hash brown pies, perfect for appetizers, are also introduced.

Wreath-style appetizer pies, which are also great for entertaining, are featured too!
