Learn how to use Schar’s NEW Gluten Free Puff Pastry Dough!
PIN THIS FOR LATER
Schar Gluten-Free Puff Pastry Dough is exactly what you’ve been looking for. Gluten-free puff pastry dough has been incredibly difficult to find, and it’s always contained dairy – something I can’t have. But Schar puff pastry dough is dairy-free and egg-free, and only contains soy as an allergen! As always, check to make sure that this Schar product matches your unique nutritional needs.
Schar Gluten Free Puff Pastry Dough
I was so excited to finally get my hands on some, thanks to our Anniversary sponsor Schar! Unfortunately, we still don’t have it here it Arizona, but plenty of readers have spotted it in their frozen foods section across the USA!
However, being a celiac forEVER (okay, 10 years) I didn’t even know what to make with puff pastry dough. I hadn’t used gluten-free puff pastry dough since being diagnosed. What was I going to make with it? Of course I went to Pinterest and YouTube to explore. I found this Tasty video and decided to experiment with a few on Schar’s new puff pastry dough.
It’s pretty easy to make these elaborate looking pastries – honestly! Now, gluten-free puff pastry dough is a little more difficult to work with (of course everything is because it doesn’t have gluten’s elasticity), but with a little bowl of water and some patience, you can really nail gluten-free puff pastry recipes! Just make sure you defrost the puff pastry dough for at least 3 hours. Unroll it slowly and carefully and mend any cracks with a little bit of water and your finger. Then, cut the dough using a pizza cutter or knife into squares or the shapes you need for each pastry. Carefully fold the dough, working out any tears with a little water and your finger. Add on the toppings and fillings before you put into the pre-heated oven. Make sure to follow the instructions for baking on the box! Pinwheels like these take a shorter amount of time than more intricate designs – so don’t burn them!
The pinwheel worked best with the puff pastry dough – and really allowed the puffiness in the wheels to shine! It also baked up the best and avoided any soggy bottom that you could get with the more elaborate use of the dough. I used Rigoni di Asiago Nocciolata Dairy Free Organic Hazelnut Spread and organic jam for the fillings. Of course, everything puff pastry is way better with organic powdered sugar on top!
This gluten free puff pastry dough is a hit in our house, but we’ve got to ration it until Schar puff pastry dough reaches Phoenix! Have you seen it in your neck of the woods?
I’m so thankful to Schar for their sponsorship of Celiac and the Beast! Don’t forget to enter our huge anniversary giveaway!
Just found this at a local grocery store with a few locations called Oliver’s Market in Northern CA for $8.49. Thank you for the inspiration. I cannot wait to use it!
Schar also has an amazing product locator that I really appreciate so folks can use that to find some of this puff pastry gold wherever they are!
I found the Schar puff pastry at my local Safeway! I can’t wait to make pinwheels with it.
Thanks so much for the heads up about this gluten free pastry dough!! So excited to use it!
What a great find! Thanks for sharing, and I love all your ideas you gave those pinwheels look awesome!
Oh my gosh…this better makes it to Arizona soon!! This looks like so much fun. 🙂
Such a great idea , the pinwheels are to die for!
I had these a few months ago and they were delicious! I can’t find them at the store anymore. I hope that they come back soon, they were amazing!
It hasn’t been quite 7 years since I was diagnosed. (It will be 7 years for me in July.) So much has changed though! Even in this short time so many new products have come out. I’m really looking forward to trying the Schar puff pastry dough. Hopefully I can find it near me soon!
Has it come to Toronto Ontario yet? I have looked everywhere!
Thanks
Helen
Schar Pastry Puff is amazing! I have used to make many dishes including quiche. It is also wonderful with Dalmatia Fig spread, prosciutto, and goat cheese on top! Follow Schar on social media or log onto their website for recipes and coupons!
Have been looking for a while for GF puff pastry! Have not seen this yet in NC but will keep looking at the 5 different grocery stores I frequent.
Is it also vegan
Yes! 🙂

This puff pastry does work great, but it is NOT dairy free.
This post has falsely led to myself and others being sickened by dairy. Please amend your post to reflect that while there are no dairy ingredients added, they are not tested for dairy content.
There is NO dairy in it. Here are the ingredients “Water, Margarine (palm Oil, Water, Sunflower Seeds Oil, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Salt, Artificial Flavor), Corn Starch, Rice Starch, Rice Flour, Chicory Inulin, Dextrose, Modified Cellulose, Soy Protein, Sunflower Seeds Oil, Guar Gum, Iodized Salt, Potato Flakes, Psyllium Seed Husk (vegetable Fiber), Palm Oil, Ammonium Bicarbonate, Natural Flavor.” However, you might have used GeeFree, which definitely uses dairy.
OMG!!! I am in Norcal. Where Olivers was created!!! I am so going to see if they have it in stcck!!!!
I tried Schär gluten free puff pastry to make pastry cups for fruit cream tarts. Kept the dough in fridge to thaw, used it while still cool, chilled after cutting shapes and before baking. Absolute disaster! The tart shells came out like little flat discs, no rise whatsoever. Will not use again.
Oh no! Please reach out to Schar and get a refund. I haven’t had any issues with mine. Perhaps next time, do a par-bake on the puff pastry before filling?
I have used the dough to make “pigs in a blanket” by just rolling up hotdogs in slices of dough and baking. We have also cut out triangles and put ham & cheese or turkey & cheese in them, roll and bake!
How long did you bake them for?
Have you tried rolling it and if so, how did it do? I have a recipe for a braided danish but the puff pastry needs to be rolled out. Wondering if it still “puffs” after rolling it out?
i use it to make pizza
Excited at the thought of using this for a family member who is special. Is it available in the Northeast?
Beware of the “chicory insulin“ in the ingredients. Apparently I’m not the only one whose digestive system can’t take it😕
Found it yesterday at a San Diego Barons! Yayyyyyy!!!!
This could probably be ordered from Schaar directly.
Where can I get the puffy pastry and the rest of the new products I l l leave in Detroit Michigan and shop at Walmart at12 and vandyke please help me with this this I need the crescent especially please bring more products to 12mi and vandyke store in Michigan please thank you
Maybe consciousness Meijer. That’s where I found in Marysville OH
It’s a lot of GF puff pastry dough but if your local stores don’t carry it, why not? https://www.foodservicedirect.com/schar-puff-pastry-dough-17-6-ounce-6-per-case-23023844.html
You can make sandwich pockets with them too. My kids love them.
I was at Expo West 2018 (and 2019) and didn’t see this somehow. I am excited to try it for Passover this year. Their store finder (which is by product) says a local grocery chain near me (Sonoma County, Calif) carries it, though I haven’t checked. I am a bit concerned that it keeps saying “lactose-free” and never claims to be vegan. I’m allergic to all traces of dairy. Also that food service case is expensive wow. $15 per box? With 2 little sheets per box? Plus shipping. But still, anything’s better than making it from scratch (I’m no baker).
Very disappointed in this product. The gluten free puff pastry is terrible to work with. It is brittle and just breaks apart as it is being unrolled from the package. At just under $8 per box, it is too expensive to waste but almost impossible to work with.
Eva – I, too, tried the Schar gluten free puff pastry and found it almost impossible to work with. I wanted to make palmieres with it, but it kept breaking into pieces. It was an unmitigated disaster! I’ll try again, but am not impressed.
I won’t ever buy this again. It’s brittle. It acts as though it will never thaw. It’s expensive. It’s crap.
I re-roll it and it turns out perfectly!
Just wanted to ask
Did it have an ammonia smell before baking? Kinda gross.
No! Mine did not!
I wish they packaged this flat. It breaks apart terribly when unrolling. I am patient and light of touch. This is a disaster. Schar! Package it flat or in 9 square pieces. I feel I bought a jog saw puzzle!
Yes, ammonia smell. Grossed me out but ammonia bicarbonate was an ingredient!
Where can you find Shar pastry in So. ORE. FOUND IT ONCE ,WAS AWESONE.
Has anyone tried a vegan Wellington with this dough? I’ve done it with regular puff pastry… a little worried to try it due to the lack of elasticity 🤔
Mine smelled like ammonia as well . I threw it out scary.
I totally agree that they should package this flat!
This is absolutely horrible and frustrating to work with.
I was so excited to find this at Safeway in Bellingham as there is none to be found in Vancouver BC. Am so disappointed 😟
In order to purchase this I had to buy an entire case. So far, after 2 boxes, I cannot get the pastry to unroll without cracking. It is also impossible to get it to shape without completely crumbling. I’ve read the comments on “re rolling” and totally do not understand how that could possibly help. Can someone tell me how to do it and why it works. Or alternatively tell me what you do to get this product to roll out so you can actually make something with it.
I actually re-roll it and it doesn’t crack! I honestly think it would be better if it wasn’t packaged as a roll! But it still bakes like a puff pastry after re-folding and re-rolling out.
It’s a terrible product to work with. It crumbs into useless scraps. The flavor is good if it were workable but it’s not. I’ve tried many techniques. The worst Schar product ever.
I bought the puff pastry (GF) at my local Safeway. Since I wasn’t able to use it right away I froze it. I let it thaw in the fridge and then brought to room temp on the counter. It just cracked terribly when I tried to unroll it. I rolled it best I could with a rolling pin. Baked it with some cream cheese and fresh strawberried. It did not puff up at all. WHY ???
