Rough puff pastry: pieces of butter instead of a separate block

Useful to know

Rough puff pastry incorporates pieces of cold butter into dough that is then rolled and folded. King Arthur’s recipe retains visible pieces of fat in the early stages rather than mixing everything into a smooth cream. [1]

This differs from enclosing a separate butter block in classic puff pastry. “Quick” does not mean that temperature control is unnecessary. If the dough becomes too soft to handle, follow the specified chilling steps. Compare the method and expected texture rather than assuming every recipe called puff pastry works identically.
