DEFROSTING & HANDLING

How do I thaw the pastry?

Best method:

1. Thaw in the fridge until workable (upto 48hrs)
2. If needed, leave on the bench to defrost before unrolling to avoid any cracks
3. You may also thaw the pastry at room temperature until pliable.

Can I thaw it in the microwave?

Not recommended. There is a chance for “heat spots” to develop on the pastry and cause cracks.

My pastry cracked when unrolling. What should I do?

It is likely still too cold.
Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before unrolling. Use a rolling pin gently over the cracks to even out the surface.

How long does thawing take?

• Shortcrust may require more than 24 hours in the fridge
• Puff may require up to 48 hours in the fridge
  

Can the pastry be refrozen?

No, we do not recommend re-freezing for quality reasons.

BAKING & USAGE

Does the pastry come with baking paper?

No. The sheet is separated and rolled with an easy- peel plastic wrap, not baking paper.
Customers must remove the plastic before use.

Can customers bake on the plastic wrap?

Absolutely not. The plastic is not heat-safe and must be discarded.

Is the plastic wrap recyclable?

Not at this stage. Our current wrap isn’t recyclable yet, but we’re actively working on future solutions to make it more sustainable.

What can I make with one Shortcrust Roll?

The possibilities are unlimited, but below are some ideas:

• 3 pies in the pie maker
• 3 x 11 cm pies (top and bottom)
• 6 mini tart shells in a muffin tin (leftover pastry could be used to make lattice tops or star shapes for mince pies; not enough pastry to make a full pie lids)
• 1 quiche base 23-25 cm
• 1 pie base 23-25 cm
• 1 pie base with lattice top 22 cm
• 1 rectangular pie crust 35 x 13 cm

Can I roll the pastry while it’s frozen?
No. Let it thaw in the fridge until flexible before rolling. Rolling it while frozen can lead to cracking and uneven thickness.

How do I give my pastry dishes a better golden finish?
Brush the pastry with egg wash before baking (1 raw egg beaten with 2 tablespoons of water). If you prefer not to use egg, you can brush the pastry with any cooking oil for a golden finish.

Can I roll the pastry thinner for more coverage?
Yes! The roll is already at the perfect thickness, but you can gently roll it out if you prefer a thinner crust or want to stretch the pastry a little further.

Does Shortcrust need blind baking?

Yes, 10–15 minutes at 180°C for wet fillings.

Is the pastry air-fryer friendly?

Yes, reduce cooking time and check frequently. Appliances vary.
