Kneading is not really a term connected to pastry but with dough development. |
Where a pastry is kneaded this must be very carefully carried out to prevent the paste from toughening. |
Kneading is done with the base of the palm of your hand very lightly to clear a mixture prior to pinning or relaxing. |
Generally this is a term used when producing doughs, however the initial dough made for use with puff pastry is kneaded to produce a clear soft elastic dough by kneading with the base of the palm of the hand. |
