Liquid in pastry serves several key functions: it hydrates the flour, allowing gluten formation for structure and elasticity; it helps dissolve other ingredients like sugar and salt; and it contributes to the overall texture and moisture of the pastry. Additionally, liquid aids in the activation of leavening agents, promoting rise and creating a flaky or tender crumb. The type and amount of liquid used can significantly influence the final product's characteristics.

Yes, a pastry roller functions the same as a rolling pin. However, a pastry roller can be used by one hand and it usually comes with two sides of different sized rollers.
The pastry blend method is a technique used to create pastry dough by combining fat with flour before adding liquid ingredients. It typically involves cutting cold fat, such as butter or shortening, into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This process helps to create a tender and flaky texture in the finished pastry. Once the fat is well incorporated, liquid is gradually added to form a dough, which is then shaped and chilled before baking.

You can't use oil in pastry. You need solid shortening so that you have layers of fat and flour. That is what makes it flaky. ...................... Oil can be used in making pastry, but as has been said, the resulting pastry will not be flaky, but crumbly. One can temporarily thicken some types of oil (especially pure olive oil) by refrigerating it. But the oil warms and returns to liquid state so quickly that it is not possible to produce flaky pastry with it.
