The recipe, step by step

  1. 01

    Croissant Dough with a Modern Touch

    Blend the semi-candied citrus fruits into a paste. Mix the milk and yeast together. Combine the flour, salt, sugar, yeast, butter, vanilla powder, inverted sugar, candied citrus fruit paste, milk and eggs at speed 1 for 4 minutes. Then knead (in the traditional manner, with a dough hook) for 10 minutes at speed 2. Shape into a ball and leave to rise for 45 minutes at approximately 25°C before rolling out onto a 60x40 cm baking sheet then chill rapidly in the freezer. Refrigerate until the dough reaches 4°C. Flatten the butter to cover 2/3 of the rolled out dough. Fold into 3, covering the butter with the remaining
    dough. Give the dough a double turn, freeze for 10 minutes then refrigerate for 10 minutes to give it time to relax. Give a single turn then chill once more. The
    dough is now ready to use.

    Croissant Dough

    Combine 250 g of strong white flour with the yeast and 330 g of milk. Add 415 g of plain flour. Leave to ferment until the flour starts to appear cracked (approx. 1h). Add the 1000 g of plain flour, salt, sugar, 580 g of cold milk and 165 g of butter. Knead at speed 1 for 3 minutes, then speed 2 for
    6 minutes. Shape into a ball and leave to rise in a proofing cabinet at between approximately 20° to 23°C for one hour. Knock down the dough and roll out onto a 60x40 cm baking tray to chill rapidly in the freezer. Finish in the refrigerator so that the dough is very cold. Flatten the butter to cover half of the rolled out croissant dough. Fold the dough over the butter. Give a double turn then a single turn. Leave to rest in the refrigerator. Once cold, the dough can be used.
