Proceedings
Ingredients
500g of w330 flour or protein 13
100g of sugar
100g of egg whites
180g of milk
10g of fresh brewer’s yeast
7g of salt
50g of butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon citrus paste
egg yolk and milk equal weight for polishing
Filling
Sicilian Red Orange I.G.P. Marmalade
Dough
- Place the flour, yeast, milk and sugar in the planetary mixer and start the dough with the spiral, add the egg white three times and string
- Add the butter and salt in small flakes with the spiral moving, string together and add the vanilla and a teaspoon of lemon paste or, failing that, lemon zest.
- Take the dough, place it in a bowl, round it and after sealing it, let it rise to double and a little more, it will take about two hours at 26°.
- Once the dough has risen completely, turn the dough onto the work surface. There will be no need for flour because the dough is soft and malleable.
- Give two rounds of wrap folds, cover in a bell shape and wait thirty minutes then shape.
- Divide the dough into two parts and roll out to form a rectangle, then cut out triangles with a pizza cutter, roll up from the base towards the tip to form croissants and place on the baking tray.
- Cover with cling film, let rise until doubled, then brush with egg yolk and milk of equal weight and bake in a static oven at 180° for about 15 minutes. The croissants must be slightly amber when they come out of the oven.
