Freezer's the way to go for puff pastry. It keeps it fresh longer, and when you thaw it, it's like it was just made.

It's typically advised to keep puff pastry in the freezer rather than the refrigerator for best freshness and performance. For puff pastry to bake with a flaky, airy texture, layers of dough and butter must stay cold and solid. Puff pastry keeps its structure better when it is frozen and the butter doesn't melt too quickly, which might result in less-than-ideal baking outcomes. To slowly defrost the puff pastry, simply move it from the freezer to the refrigerator a few hours prior to use. Using this technique will guarantee that your puff pastry stays perfect for consistently producing flaky and delectable desserts.
