Puff pastry

Yesterday, I defrosted some shop bought Puff Pastry to make some cheesy vegetable squares with. I want to freeze them so I have them ready for packed lunches. The recipe says that they should be frozen uncooked. Is it ok to refreeze pastry after defrosting ? I am getting conflicting advice from Google 🙄 Just wondered what you lot thought ☺️

The pastry won't be nice when frozen & defrosted... will get soggy & chewy. Can you freeze them uncooked and bake off the night before?

Agree with pumpkin, I worked in a patisserie and we'd shape the pastry in the morning and then freeze. We'd put them in the oven when needed. We made the pastry though so I'm unsure if it's the same if it's previously been frozen then unfrozen / shaped then frozen Hmm could you make the batch once bought and then freeze?

I meant to refreeze it still uncooked (sorry - wasn't clear). I don't often use pastry so I normally buy Jus Roll but it looks like I should make some from scratch 🙈🙈🙈 Thanks ladies☺️

Ah yeah it should be fine! If it was me I'd buy it from the fridge section though and then freeze once it's shaped.
