200 g sausage;
200 g cheddar;
4 eggs;
1 tablespoon ranch sauce;
3 tablespoons salsa;
Parmesan.

Spread ranch dressing on the ring. If you don’t have it, then simply mix sour cream and mayonnaise in equal proportions with various spices (dried parsley, dried dill, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and so on).

Slice the sausage and lightly fry. Then crack the eggs into the pan and fry, stirring constantly. Finally, add three tablespoons of salsa.

Arrange the filling around the ring so that it is convenient to bend the “petals” later, and after cooking, cut the puff pastry. Close the ring by bending all the “petals” and sprinkle it with grated Parmesan. Bake the puff pastry in the oven for 10–15 minutes at 200°C. Serve hot for breakfast.

Baked goods made from puff yeast dough are always tender, airy, and crispy. And it doesn’t matter what you prepared: buns, pies or puff pastries. All products are instantly swept off the table. Experienced chefs share recommendations that are important to pay attention to when working with this type of dough:
Choose the right dough. Pay attention to the layers in the store: they should not have swelling. Their presence indicates storage failure and repeated defrosting of the product.

Filling options for buns or croissants: poppy seeds with honey; chocolate pieces; prunes, walnuts and sugar; cinnamon with sugar; cheese; jam berries; pieces of fresh fruit with honey.

This dough can also be used to make pies with savory fillings. For example, minced meat or chicken and potatoes; mushrooms and potatoes; liver and egg; fish and onions; rice with herbs; chicken and cheese.

If you want to give your pizza an incredible aroma, then chop a few cloves of garlic, dilute with a small amount of water and distribute this mixture over the surface of the finished pizza.

Do not forget that puff pastry is very high in calories due to its high fat content. Baking products based on this dough should be consumed in small quantities.

It is recommended to roll out puff pastry in one direction only. This way you will not disturb the structure of the layers and the baked goods will turn out tender and fluffy.

Puff pastry products should only be placed in a well-heated oven. Typically, the recommended baking temperature is indicated in the recipe and averages 170-200 0 C.

When working with puff pastry, all equipment (knife, cutting board, bowls) should be cooled. The room itself should also be cool.

It is believed that puff pastry should be defrosted correctly as follows: the layers should be removed from the packaging, covered with a napkin and left on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator. This is a long process that will take at least 2 hours.

Before baking, it is advisable to leave all products to rest for 40 minutes and only then put them in the oven.
