Gluten forms in puff pastry when flour is mixed with water and then manipulated through folding and rolling. This process develops the proteins glutenin and gliadin into gluten, which provides structure and elasticity. The layers of dough and fat trap moisture and steam during baking, causing the pastry to rise and create a flaky texture. Proper handling is essential to achieve the desired lightness without over-developing gluten, which could result in a tougher pastry.
