How to make flaky yeast dough at home - recipe
Ingredients:
- whole milk or purified water - 245 ml;
- wheat flour, sifted - 330 g;
- sugar - 2 pinch;
- salt - 1 pinch;
- sunflower oil without fragrance - 45 ml;
- fresh yeast - 20 g;
- peasant butter - 285 g;
- chicken egg of medium size - 1 pc.
Preparation
Preparing a puff pastry at home is a troublesome business, but the result is worth the effort. Products from such a foundation are incredibly delicious, tender and crunchy.
Starting the process of creating a puff pastry, activate the original fresh yeast. For this, we spread them in slightly warmed water or milk, add a couple of pinch of sugar, a pinch of salt, a little flour and let it stand for ten minutes in the heat. Now we mix in the yeast base the beaten egg and the rest of the sifted flour, achieving not a sticky texture of the finished dough and adding oil at the end of the batch without sunflower oil.
We give the test three hours for a proofing, after which we remove it on the shelf of the refrigerator for about forty minutes.
We roll out the cooled lump to obtain a uniform layer about one and a half centimeter thick, put half the portion of butter in its center and cover it completely with one edge of the dough. We put the second slice of the oil on the doorway from the dough and cover it with the second free edge.
We then place the preform for a short time in the fridge and roll it out afterwards to a layer about two-two and a half centimeters thick. When the goal is reached, we fold the sheet with an envelope, cool the half hour in the refrigerator and roll it out again. Repeat this chain a couple more times, after which the puff pastry will be ready for use.
