"Just some advice that may 'come in handy:
- must be in precise proportions, gestures (but this comes with time) and rest periods
- just use regular salt and sugar
- the butter should have the same consistency of the basis (though some pastry chefs use butter cream, try it)
- do not let the croissants rise in temperature is too high (above 30 ° C) butter will come out or let it rise for too long (the yeast , naughty, you eat all the sugar)
- always cut the dough with a large sharp knife and neatly (not to affect the proper conduct of the leaf)
- no strings when it rolled croissants (unleavened well)
- for cooking, best to check by eye that the croissants s'imbiondiscano.
1. On the eve (evening). In a cup dissolve the yeast in some milk or water tiepiedi. To ferment for ten minutes, so you create a froth on the surface.
In a bowl, put flour on the edges and, separately spread the sugar and salt. Make a hole in the center and pour in the yeast, warm milk and egg. Mix liquid ingredients then incorporate the flour, salt and sugar. Working with the whip hook until the dough becomes smooth, elastic and detaches from the walls. Form a ball, cover with foil (A little 'flour) and let rise in warm draft-free place for about an hour. Should double in volume.
2. Take over the dough, knead quickly on a floured work surface, giving it the initial volume. Roll out the dough to put in a roasting pan covered with parchment paper, cover with plastic wrap and let stand in refrigerator overnight.
3. The next day, spread the butter between wax paper with a rolling pin to give it a rectangular shape of 1-2 cm thick (half the size of the dough). Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
4. Take over the first mixture. On a well floured work surface, spread it into a rectangle 1 inch thick (and forty feet across). Place the butter on the first half of the surface taking care to leave the edges 2 cm margin. Fold the dough over the butter, folding and sealing the edges. Flour.
5. Be the first round. Spread the mixture in the sense of long to obtain a rectangle three times longer than wide. Fold in the portfolio, ie 4, before the two outer edges inward and then back to the inside (so you get a lap and a half). Flour lightly, turn the dough a quarter turn (so that the fold is to the side, left or right, the important thing is to respect this right). Repeat the operation. You get so '3 laps. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand in refrigerator one hour. You can 'also be the dough between the rounds and then use it afterwards. " Here I made the dough between turns in the fridge for 20 minutes after every round.
" 6. Meanwhile prepare the syrup. Boil the water with the muscovado sugar and off when it has melted.
7. On a floured work surface, roll the dough into a rectangle of about thirty inches long. Cut it in half the long and overlap the two groups (for guadaganre time you cut a whole). Cut diagonally to form triangles with a large sharp knife (so that the cut is clean and the dough can get up regularly). This results in 'triangle of 10 cm base. Lay them slightly towards the tip.
8. Place the croissants on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with parchment paper or lightly coat with flour and cover with foil. Let them rise in a warm draft-free place for a couple of hours. They have to almost double in volume (80%).
Heat oven to 220-230 ° C. Brush them egg and bake for 12-15 minutes as long as you brown. Serve warm. "
