Instructions
- To make the puff pastry combine the flours and salt and rub in the 40g diced Stork block until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

- Flatten the 350g Stork block into a square between 2 sheets of clingfilm and set to one side.
- Roll out the dough into a cross shape.
- Set the square of Stork block in the centre.
- Seal it in the middle of the dough folding the flaps over and into the middle.
