Culinary Science: Flakiness & Moisture Control
-
Lamination & Steam Expansion: Puff pastry relies on alternating micro-layers of dough and solid butter. As the pastry bakes at $400^\circ\text{F}$ ($200^\circ\text{C}$), the water in the butter evaporates rapidly, expanding into steam and pushing the thin dough layers apart into crisp, airy leaves.
-
Managing Filling Moisture: Hot or wet fillings melt the butter layers prematurely and introduce excess liquid, turning the bottom crust soggy. Briefly searing the steak on high heat caramelizes the exterior without overcooking the meat, while cooling the filling before assembly keeps the pastry butter cold for maximum puff.
