Gluten-Free Puff Pastry
This is the only gluten-free puff pastry I’ve ever used. I think it’s awesome, and a really good product for something that’s really hard to find gluten-free. I get mine on Amazon in bulk and posted the link below for easy buying. If anyone knows of other gluten-free puff pastry brands, please let me know through Instagram DM!

It only takes 15 minutes to assemble the turnovers and only 15 minutes in the oven. Very doable for a quick dessert. And, barely any dishes!
