Sweet Puff Pastry: Pastel Gloria
My family and I went to Orlando for Christmas. We had the chance to go to several Latin bakeries. I was surprised to find one of the most Authentic Latin Bakeries that I have had here in the US: Fortuna Bakery. The bakery brought back many memories of the different delicious pastries that I used to eat back home. Every time my family and I went to the bakery one of us would order one of these Sweet puff pastries, we call it “Pastel Gloria”. Pastel Gloria has guava sweet inside, you can also add cheese, and/or dulce de leche.
Now, I have been wanting to improve my baking skills and I made my own Puff pastry dough. You can either make your own puff pastry dough following this youtube video or you can buy it in the store and cut the prep time.
I had so much fun making these little pastries, I hope you do as well!
