Puff pastry tubes: recipes and filling options

Using ready-made puff pastry

It’s easy to buy ready-made puff pastry in the store. But not every housewife knows how to use it for its intended purpose. So, to make filled puff pastry tubes using store-bought dough, follow the step-by-step instructions:

Remove the frozen dough from the package onto a floured table or cutting board;
leave to thaw for 1-2 hours - the time depends on the relative temperature of the room; if it is higher, the dough will quickly become elastic, and this is the consistency needed for cooking;
if you use yeast dough, it should rise a little;
Roll out the layer with a rolling pin and form into tubes.

Then they are baked in the oven and stuffed with filling.

Pastries “Puff tubes”

Ingredients for “Puff pastries”:

Dough:

Wheat flour / Flour - 350 g;
Butter (or margarine) - 200 g;
Salt - 0.5 tsp;
Water (cold) - 150 ml.

Cream

Citric acid - 0.5 tsp;
Sugar - 225 g;
Egg white - 2 pcs;
Water (boiling water) - 75 ml.

Tools

In order for even tubes of puff pastry to come out of the soft layer, you will need some confectionery tools. Namely, a culinary metal cone or cylinder.

If you don't have one on hand, you can make it yourself. To do this you will need a piece of thin cardboard and food foil. Cut out blanks for a cone or cylinder from cardboard. Fold them in the correct shape and wrap them with pieces of food foil so that the blanks hold on.

Wafer rolls with filling

Such straws can be served not only at a banquet table. They are perfect for a light meal and will help you out if there is an unexpected knock on your door. They are easy and simple to prepare, but they look impressive and taste very good. The filling can be changed and supplemented.

Ingredients:

Wafer rolls – 10 pieces
Chicken meat or chicken sausage - 200 grams
Hard cheese – 150 grams
Mayonnaise - To taste
Chicken egg - 3 pieces
Parsley - 1 bunch

Cooking method:

To prepare the filling, cut boiled chicken meat or homemade chicken sausage into cubes. I took the sausage. It has a slight campfire taste.
Peel the boiled chicken eggs and cut into cubes. It is advisable to finely chop all the ingredients in the filling.
The hole in the tube is not too big. Large pieces of filling will destroy the shape of the tube.
Grate the cheese. I took Caucasian cheese like Brynza or Adygei
Place cheese, meat and eggs in a salad bowl. Season with mayonnaise. Add some ground black pepper. Stir.
Fill the finished wafer rolls with the resulting filling.
These are the tubes we will get.
Chop the greens. Dip the tip of the straw into the green crumbs.
Bring the straws to the table.

Puff pastry is used not only for baking various sweet treats, but you can also use it to make an original carrot-shaped snack. It is quite easy to prepare: first you need to bake a base of puff pastry in the form of a tube, in the middle of which you need to place the prepared salad.

Homemade puff pastry recipe

The classic version of making puff pastry at home does not involve the use of sugar. The dough is made not sweet, but unleavened. It is very important for him to take only the highest quality wheat flour. It is determined by the “strength of gluten.” If you are not sure about the type of flour, you should add a little potato starch to it. One tablespoon of starch per 0.5 kg of wheat flour can increase the water absorption function, for which gluten is responsible.

So, for the homemade puff pastry recipe you will need:

600 grams of wheat flour (+ 50 g for butter cake);
200 ml water;
400 grams of butter (solid, but not ice cream);
one chicken egg;
a couple of pinches of coarse salt;
citric acid on the tip of a knife.

How to cook:

The dough is kneaded from water, eggs, salt, citric acid and flour. It should be soft, elastic and uniform.
Roll out the dough into a layer no more than 1 cm thick.
Make a flat cake from the butter by hand and bread it in flour. Place in the center of the dough. A book covers its edges.
Begin rolling out the dough to its original thickness. Cover it again with a book and roll it out. There should be 7-8 such folds and rolls. The dough is ready for further shaping.

This dough recipe (or a store-bought version) will be needed to make straws - sweet and snack.

Puff pastries with condensed milk

When making straws, ready-made puff pastry purchased in a store is often used. You can knead it at home, it is not as difficult as is commonly believed. Try once and prepare dough in reserve.

Recipe composition for puff pastry:

wheat flour – 0.5 kg;
butter or margarine – 250 g;
egg – 1 pc.;
water – 150 ml (2/3 tbsp.);
citric acid – ¼ tsp;
salt – ½ tsp.

There are recipes in which alcohol is added in certain proportions to improve the plasticity of the dough. However, it is preferable to do without it!

For filling:

boiled condensed milk – 200 g;
butter – 100 g;
walnuts - to taste;
powdered sugar for dusting.

Cooking method:

Prepare the oil. Mash it well, or chop it into fine crumbs with a knife. Add 3 tbsp. spoons of flour to remove excess moisture and mix thoroughly. Form a rectangle from the resulting mass and cool.
Mix warm water and egg, beat lightly. Add salt and citric acid.
Take a deep bowl, add 2/3 of the sifted flour and gradually add liquid. Knead an elastic, not very tight dough, adding more flour if necessary. When it stops sticking to your fingers, form a ball. Sprinkle with flour and leave for 30-40 minutes to allow the gluten to swell, which makes the puff pastry elastic.
Dust the surface with flour before cooking. Roll out the rested dough into a 1 cm thick square, slightly thinner at the edges.
Place the cooled butter mixture in the middle. Cover it with dough on four sides, sides, top and bottom.
Carefully, so as not to break the integrity, roll out to a centimeter thickness. Fold into quarters and roll out again. Fold again in four layers and place in the cold for half an hour.
After rolling, repeat 3-4 more times, cooling the dough each time. The result will be multi-layered.
We form cake tubes. Separate the required amount of dough and put the rest in the freezer. Roll out into a rectangle half a centimeter thick. Cut into strips 2 cm wide and wrap each one around a steel pastry cone. If there is no ready-made form, you can make one from cardboard and wrap it in foil.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Place the prepared tubes on a damp baking sheet or lined with parchment. Brush with beaten yolk. Bake for about a quarter of an hour. Separate the finished products from the molds and cool.
While the horns are cooling, condensed milk is being prepared. Beat the butter into a thick mass, add boiled condensed milk. Chop the nuts and mix everything thoroughly.
Using a pastry bag, fill the tubes with the resulting cream. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top of the product.

Cakes with condensed milk go well with tea and coffee without sugar.

Sweet straws recipe

What products are needed:

half a kilo of puff pastry;
three chicken eggs;
a pinch of salt;
a couple of pinches of vanilla powder;
a glass of sugar;
citric acid on the tip of a knife;
60 ml boiled water.

Recipe for puff pastry rolls:

The recipe uses ready-made dough - homemade or store-bought. Roll it out thinly and cut into strips about 1-2 cm wide. Wind it onto culinary cones or cylinders so that there is no space left between the strips of dough (otherwise the cream will come out through them later when stuffing). Brush with beaten egg yolks and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in the oven until golden brown.
Almost the entire recipe is cream for puff pastry tubes. To prepare it, mix sugar and water in an enamel pan. Heat and cook until thickened and a golden caramel mass - syrup is obtained. At the same time, be sure to stir it.
Separately, in a tall container, mix the egg whites with salt and vanilla. Start beating on mixer speed 1 until white. Then gradually add citric acid and beat at higher speed. You need to get a thick protein cream.
Pour sugar syrup into the cream at first speed of the mixer in a thin stream. This is how the proteins are brewed and a complete protein cream for straws is formed.
Place the cream in a pastry bag and fill the tubes with it.

Recipe for protein cream for waffles and puff pastries

Protein cream is a popular filling for waffle or puff pastry tubes. The protein cream is very light and has a pleasant sweet taste, which perfectly complements non-sweet dough (especially puff pastry). Preparing protein cream is very simple and does not require “complex” ingredients.

You will need:

Proteins – 2-3 pcs. (depending on how much cream you need).
Sugar - a few tbsp. (adjust the sweetness yourself).
Citric acid or salt (1-2 pinches)

Preparation:

Cool the eggs in advance so that the white is cold, this way it beats better and gives a stable foam.
Divide the eggs into whites and yolks, beat the whites with citric acid (you can replace them with lemon juice).
After this, gradually begin adding sugar in small portions, completely dissolving it.
After adding all the sugar, move the bowl in which you beat to a steam bath.
Steam for approximately 5 minutes
The finished cream should be filled into the tubes using a cooking bag or syringe.

Sweet filling options

Sweet cream for puff pastry tubes can be prepared according to another recipe:

non-custard version - a whipped mixture of boiled condensed milk with sugar and soft butter (fat content 82%);
custard - grind four egg yolks with 200 grams of sugar and 2 tbsp. spoons of wheat flour, add 0.5 liters of milk and cook the mixture until thickened, stirring with a whisk.

You can add more products to both of these cream recipes to make the finished dessert (puff pastry tubes with filling) more original and interesting.

Cakes with berry filling

In summer, tubes with protein cream are perfectly replaced with fresh berries filling. The delicacy turns out to be light and sour.

puff pastry – 250 g;
strawberries, wild strawberries or raspberries – 0.5 kg;
heavy cream – 1 tbsp;
sugar – 0.5 tbsp;
gelatin – 10 g.

Using the method described above, bake the straws.
The berry filling is easy to prepare. Grind the washed berries through a medium sieve. Combine with sugar and stir until it dissolves.
Whip well-chilled cream to a thick, stable foam.
Gently fold the cream into the berry mixture.
Dissolve gelatin in warm water. Stirring constantly, pour it into the berries with cream in a thin stream.
After 30 minutes, fill the tubes with filling, garnishing with whole berries.

In winter, fresh berries can be replaced with frozen ones. Place them in a sieve and wait until they melt to remove excess liquid.

Pumpkin Buttercream Rolls Recipe

What products are needed:

0.5 dough (puff pastry);
200 grams of pumpkin;
150 grams of sugar;
50 ml cream 33% fat;
a pinch of vanillin;
one egg;
for decoration, almond petals or confectionery crumbs.

Recipe:

prepare the dough and make tube-shaped pieces, brush them with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar (or powder), place on a baking sheet or wire rack and place in the oven at 180-200 °C for 10-15 minutes;

During this time, peel and grind the pumpkin into puree, mix with sugar and vanillin, cook until a homogeneous sweet mass - jam;
Separately, whip the cream into a thick mixture and add to the cooled jam;

stir with upward movements so that the splendor of the mass does not fall off;

remove the rosy tubes from the oven and sprinkle them with almond petals or confectionery crumbs, let the baked goods cool, and then remove them from the cone blanks;
Place the pumpkin cream in a pastry bag and fill the tubes with it.

Pumpkin cream can be made gelled using gelatin or agar-agar. If the first option is taken, then gelatin must be mixed with water until it swells, and then heated, but not to a boil. Stir into hot pumpkin mixture before adding cream.

Agar-agar is not afraid of high temperatures, so it can be added at the beginning of cooking pumpkin jam. The binding properties of this substance will only improve.

Advice. You can grind oatmeal in any way available to you: in a blender, in a coffee grinder, or simply put it in a bag and roll it with a rolling pin. If the flakes are wet, dry them first in a dry frying pan.
Prepare the batter: beat two chicken eggs into a bowl and add half a teaspoon of salt, beat with a whisk or fork.
Bread that does not crumble is suitable for tubes. The ideal option is sliced bread, preferably toast.
Cut off all the crusts from the pieces of bread and roll out each piece of bread with a rolling pin.
We grease the pieces of bread with processed cheese (you can use cheeses with filling: I used it with ham), roll it up.
After all the rolls are ready, pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the frying pan and place on the stove. Heat the oil over medium heat.
Dip each roll into the egg mixture and then roll in oatmeal.
Place in a frying pan and fry on both sides until golden brown.
Crispy cheese rolls are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them with any sauce (to your taste).
