I decided to bake an apple pie, because I could not wait any longer for it to be served at the Christmas dinner table.

Where are all of my bakers?

Side Note: For anyone who loves butter, this is my favorite and I highly recommend it to everyone! Especially those that like to eat sticks of butter 🤤

Looks great! I wish I could smell it and I would absolutely eat a piece. I'm really curious about that butter. I think I might order some to try it.....they also have some good looking cheese....

I can tell you the entire house smells like Christmas 🎄

I wish I could give you a slice while it’s warm with a side of home made vanilla ice-cream 😍

Let me know what you think of the butter if you try it. Oh I have not tried their cheese, but I bet it’s good.

Oh man thinking of fresh made pie with homemade ice cream is making me salivate. 🤤

You are my kinda guy haha! This is what dreams are made of 100% 🥧 + 🍨 = 🤤

100% freah pie and ice cream is a top combo. I might have to make my own pie now. I haven't made a pie in ages. 🤔

Show me if you do 😇

I will! I've been forgetting to take pictures of the bread I make and tag you lol. I've experimented with some non-spiral patterns recently.

Wow 😍 It looks amazing 🤤 Nice work 🤌

🙃

Yes I need to, I’m just scared I’ll get addicted 😅

Looks amazing 🤩

It’s still too hot to eat, but I am 100% sure in the morning it will be amazing! 🤩

I’m sure it’ll be delicious 😋

Italians do it better… at least for food! 🤙

Hahah 😜 the food is very good for sure!

Looks great! 🤤 Time to bake something good today. Have you ever made croissants with that butter?

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 😅

Delicious croissants 🥐🥐🤤 recipe is similar to what I was following - https://www.weekendbakery.com/posts/classic-french-croissant-recipe/

Except they recommend to prepare dough over 3 days.

Will see if I can Occelli butter and how it tastes differently.

Ohhh these also look good.
