Techniques
Fold puff pastry over filling to make sealed parcels (or leave them flat)
Add filling to pastry squares and fold over to form parcels, or keep them flat for an open style.
Place filling on the pastry square, then fold the pastry over to enclose it. The video also shows an alternative flatter/open shape, indicating you can vary the parcel style based on preference.
The short version
- Keep filling portions similar so parcels bake evenly
- Choose folded (enclosed) or flatter/open shapes depending on the result you want
