Crossiant

Lots of people have very complicated feeling about crossiant. People love crossiant because of the crispy, but we are afraid of knowing how much butter bakeries use. Although not everyone has this king of feeling, but most of us have. When I told to my friend I’m doing Crossiant, my friend said I’m not coming to kitchen now. Because I don’t want to know how much butter you use in. Hee… Not a lot!!

Someone said I’m crazy to bake crossiant by myself because you can buy 4 for a pound!! I know it, but I just like to do it. So, enjoy your Crossiant

Steps of Crossiant

(1) Add flour, salt and sugar into a big bowl. Mix a little.

(2) Add 200 ml milk with instant yeast into the bowl. Knead it into the chunk
(Selena’s Kitchen Talk: My instant yeast’s instruction is to add yeast in the water around 5 minutes. Check the instruction before using it.)

(3) Then, move dough to a floured table and knead the dough until it turns soft and elastic.

(4) Shape the dough into a ball and put back to the bowl. Leave the dough in a warm place to double its size. It takes around 90 ~ 120 minutes

(5) After the first grow-up, move the dough to floured table. Roll it into a big flat, around 30X50 cm.

(6) Place 200g butter in the middle of the place. Fold one third into the middle. And then, fold another one third on top. Then, it will turn into a long strip.

(Selena’s Kitchen Talk: Leave around 2 cm at the top and bottom of the edge. Then, butter will not be split at rolling later.)

(7) Fold one third into the middle from the top. And the fold another one third into the middle from the bottom. Then, wrap with a kitchen film. Put in the freezer. Wait for 30 minutes.

(Selena’s Kitchen Talk: It will be easier to handle the dough.)
(8) Then, roll it into a 30X 50 cm rectangle. Repeat (6) and (7) at least 3 more time.

(9) Roll it into a 30X50cm rectangle. Cut the dough into 12 triangles like the picture.

(10) Roll into the crossiant from the base of triangle

(11) Leave in the cold place to grow up. It takes around 90~120 minutes.
(12) Brush some egg and then send it into the pre-heat oven at 200C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Bake it around 15 minutes until the top turns golden and crispy.

Fresh Crossiant is also so yum. Crispy top and soft inside. Who can say NO to this delicious bread?! Just enjoy it!
