Cut 4 "walls" of puff pastry by cutting approximately 1-inch wide strips along each side of a sheet of puff pastry

Stack "wall" pieces on top of "floor" piece placing the cut edge of the "walls" on the outside edge

8

Dab ends of "walls" with egg wash and fold long pieces over to form a square

10

Fold it in half and cut vents for steam along the fold
