postedIs your puff pastry dough just made basically with flour, salt, pastry margarine and water.? you did not use any acidulant to relax the dough and make it more extensible during lamination..This ingredient itself will make the dough slight acidic

posted@elif.karabas35..I agree with @Roy, acidulant are often used in puff pastry production. IF its there a pH increase in the dough upon storage then its likely an unacidulated dough..
Yes Puff paste dough pH should be below 6....it can even go to below 5 in certain formulation
