Ingredients

1 cup water
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
2 sticks frozen butter (unsalted), no margarine.

Directions

Mix the water, flour, and sugar together to form the dough.
Put clear wrap on the surface you are going to work on. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until 1 inch thick.
Shred the butter on the rolled out dough and fold in triangle. Put in a freezer for 10-15 minutes (cover it with clear wrap when putting in the freezer).
In 15 minutes take another 1/2 stick of butter; take out the dough and put the clear wrap on the working surface (the same you used before or new one). Roll out the dough until 1 inch thick.
Shred the butter, fold in triangle, put in the freezer for 15 minutes (cover with clear wrap). Repeat the same procedure with the rest 2 halves of the butter sticks.
This dough takes some time and effort, but it really is delicious and the best. But, if you don't have time for messing with this dough, just buy the ready puff pastry dough.
I normally cook this dough over the weekend, because then I can relax. I roll out my dough and then go watch TV. Then repeat the process. Just enjoy this dough preparation procedure.
The dough preparation is ready, when you shred the last 1/2 stick of butter. Put it in the fridge for 15 minutes; take it out and cut in 3-4 pieces.
Use one piece to roll out your dough for the strudel, the other two you can use for the croissants.
Keep the rest of the dough in a freezer. You can bake pastry, such as Apple strudel, croissants, puff pastry baskets, puff pastry fish pie and much more in minutes with this dough.
Strudel is my favorite. Usually it doesn't live for more than 3 hours in my house. Croissants may last for 24 hours, at the most.
