📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 425℉.
2
Roll out the puff pastry so that it's roughly 15 inches long and 10 inches wide (it doesn't have to be exact), then transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
3
Lightly dampen the edges with water, then fold them over about 1 inch to form an outer crust.
4
Use a very sharp paring knife to trim off just the outer edge of the pastry, being careful to remove as little dough as possible. this will help the crust puff up evenly.
5
Use a fork to prick the inside of the dough all over, then bake until puffed and golden brown, about ⏱️ 15 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
6
While the pastry bakes, mix together the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, scallions, parsley and capers in a medium bowl.
