  6. Take the dough out, unwrap, roll again into a rectangular sheet. - - Spread another 1/4 cup margarine evenly. - - Now start folding over the ends to make another 3 layers. - - Cling wrap the dough and refrigerate for another 15 minutes.
  7. Likewise repeat this rolling, folding, refrigerating for another 3 times to get layers. Totally 6 times. - - Every time dust the work counter with flour before rolling the dough. - - Finally take the rectangular layered dough out from the refrigerator. Puff Pastry dough - - Roll the dough into a rectangular large sheet. - - Cut into equal pastry puff sheets. Place a butter paper in between before storing in fridge.
  8. If using immediately, let the sheets cool down completely. Then proceed. - - Coming to our lasagna puff, let’s prepare the eggplant pasta parmigiana. - - Heat olive oil in a pan.
