Yes and it’s amazing!
Ingredients:
1. For the Dough:
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 140ml warm water
- 140ml warm milk
- 55g sugar
- 40g softened Beppino Occelli butter
- 11g instant yeast
- 10g salt
2. For the Butter Layer:
- 250g of Beppino Occelli butter
3. For the Egg Wash:
- 1 egg
- A pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Dough:
- Mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl.
- Add warm milk, water, and Beppino Occelli butter. Mix to form a slightly sticky dough.
- Knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 1 hour in a warm place.
2. Prepare the Butter Block:
- Place the Beppino Occelli butter between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Pound and roll out to a rectangle, about 1cm thick.
- Refrigerate until firm but still pliable.
3. Laminate the Dough:
- Roll out the dough to a rectangle twice the size of the butter block.
- Place the rolled out Beppino Occelli butter on half of the dough, fold the other half over.
- Seal the edges and gently roll out to a larger rectangle.
- Fold the dough into thirds, like a letter.
- Wrap and chill for 1 hour. Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times with chilling in between.
4. Shape the Croissants:
- Roll the dough to a rectangle, then cut into triangles.
- Roll each triangle from the base to the tip, forming a croissant shape.
- Place on a baking sheet, cover, and let them rise until puffy.
5. Bake:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Brush croissants with egg wash.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.
6. Cool & Serve:
- Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Although this is where I usually burn my mouth and fingers because I can’t wait for them to cool down 😅
