Puff Pastry Butter Bread Loaf

This Puff Pastry Butter Bread Loaf Is a Flaky, Buttery Delight – Perfect for Breakfast or an Afternoon Treat! Each Layer is Crisp and Melt-in-Your-Mouth Goodness.

Ingredients:

•2 sheets puff pastry, thawed

•½ cup unsalted butter, softened

•¼ cup granulated sugar

•1 tsp vanilla extract

•1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions:

1. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

•Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.

2. Make the Butter Mixture:

•In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the Layers:

•Lay one sheet of puff pastry flat and spread a layer of the butter mixture over it. Top with the second sheet of puff pastry. Cut the stacked pastry into strips (about 2 inches wide), then fold each strip accordion-style (or roll gently) to fit vertically into the loaf pan, placing them side by side until the pan is filled.

4. Brush with Egg Wash:

•Brush the top of the loaf withbeaten egg to help achieve a golden color.

5. Bake:

•Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is puffed and golden brown. Let it cool slightly in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment overhang.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

•Slice or pull apart to enjoy the layers of buttery, flaky goodness. This loaf is best served warm, on its own, or with a touch of jam or honey.
