  7. 07

    Shaping and baking

    Enclose the butter sheet in the dough and give it 1 single turn. Lay 700 g of rolled-out red dough on top of the dough parcel. Perform 2 single turns, letting the dough rest in the refrigerator in between turns.

     

    Roll the dough parcel out to a width of 39 cm and a thickness of 2 cm. Cut into strips 5 mm wide (be careful to cut in the same direction as the dough was rolled out). Place the strips on top of the dough parcel also in the same direction in which the dough was rolled out (horizontally). Roll out to a thickness of  6 mm and cut into strips 15 cm (vertically) then cut into rectangles that are 5 cm wide (horizontally) (70 g). Make two lengthwise incisions (leaving 1 cm on one of the short sides) then braid. Roll the braid around itself then press to seal. Let rise in the moulds for 2 hours at 26°C (70% humidity). Let sit at room temperature (20°C) for 10 minutes. Preheat the convection oven to 190°C, turn down to 170°C and bake the buns for 12 minutes then at 165°C for approximately 4 minutes (ensure that the red dough does not darken too much).


    Remove from the oven and glaze with maple syrup. Sprinkle with the crispy raspberries. Let cool. Fill with 15 g of cream cheese pastry cream followed by 15 g of berry compote.
