Puff pastry is time-consuming and can be a daunting prospect. Rough puff, on the other hand, is a lot simpler. It gives a similar flaky, buttery result but with much less effort required.
However, this does take a little time, but it’s mostly the resting intervals between rolling out the butter-studded pastry, and the outcome is well worth the investment.
