[About the Appeal of Frozen Puff Pastry]

① Effortless Making pastry takes time and effort. But with frozen puff pastry, all you have to do is take it out of the bag, cut it into your desired shape, wrap ingredients, and bake it in the oven!

② From sweets to snacks Another appeal of frozen puff pastry is that it can be used with a wide variety of ingredients. Since puff pastry has very little sweetness, it can be widely used not only for sweets, but also for snacks and savory pies!

③ Fun with various shapes Puff pastry sheets are often available in convenient sizes and thicknesses, around 18cm square, and can be easily arranged by cutting into squares, using round cutters, or rolling them up.
