Gluten Free Puff Pastry, Homemade

[Innovation Inquiries]

Hi friends!

Ive been working recently on making the perfect gluten free puff pastry based on the recipe by Cannelle et Vanille (https://www.chefsteps.com/activities/gluten-free-puff-pastry-with-cannelle-et-vanille-s-aran-goyoaga)

It tastes good and looks good but: the dough isnt quite as elastic as I want it to be, my puff doesn't rise quite as much to my liking and even after baking it looks quite pale.

If any of you have any successful attempts, can you send me your recipes or let me know what sort of extra ingredients you tried using that worked? My current attempts have so far involved including extra xanthan gum, and trying to include baking powder to give it extra rise and browning. Would either milk powder, egg or egg whites help or hinder my progress?

Thanks a lot!

You might be the angel that God sent to put puff pastry on the gluten free market.... the rest of us are just dropping our jaws and thinking that, since there doesn't seem to be ANY puff pastry on the market, we would be quite pleased with what you already described that you have made!!! Go for it!

Schar's actually makes a puff pastry that is quite good.  The stores in my area, (somewhat remote), do not carry it but I was able to get it before I moved.  Though, I think the original poster creating one of her own is awesome, Schar's is definitely an option out there.

Yes, it looks like Schar has a puff pastry dough:
