Making the recipe

For 8 pieces

  • PUFF PASTRY

    Ingrédients

    Flour T45 – 660g
    Mineral water – 330g
    Fine salt – 13g
    Dry butter – 500g

    Mix the flour, water and salt in the mixer, using the
    hook.
    Knead at top speed until the dough is even.
    Set aside the dough in the fridge.
    Place the butter between two sheets of baking
    parchment and, using a rolling pin, pat the butter to
    soften it and shape it into a rectangle.
    On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough with the rolling pin until you have a rectangle twice the length of the butter.
    Place the butter in the middle and cover with the dough, making sure the butter is fully enclosed.
    Make 5 simple turns, with resting times, to ensure the dough stays cold and can be relaxed.
    The following day, roll out the dough thinly and leave to rest for 1 hour in the fridge, before baking in a ventilated oven at 190°C.
    After baking, sprinkle with icing sugar and caramelise in the oven at 200°C.
    After cooling, cut into rectangles for the assembly.
