Ingredients

Dough

  • 45 g butter doux 82% de M.G. (mou)
  • 16 g levure fraîche (~ 6 g de levure sèche "instantanée")
  • 200 g lait demi-écrémé (à 3°C)
  • 50 g eau (à 3°C)
  • 500 g farine T45 de qualité (Gruau, Label Rouge... mini 11% de protéines)

Instructions 

  • Prepare the dough by mixing flour, yeast, sugar, salt, milk, and water, then incorporate softened butter and knead until smooth.
  • Roll out the dough into a rectangle, then layer with cold butter, folding and rolling multiple times to create flaky layers.
  • Cut the layered dough into rectangles and place chocolate sticks or pieces on one end, then roll up.
  • Arrange the pastries on a baking sheet, let them proof for about 30 minutes, then brush with egg wash if desired.
  • Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (392°F) for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Ensure the dough is well chilled before layering for optimal flakiness.
