Rich Terracotta Pate Feuilleté
Ingredients |
Method |
|
573g Milk 96g deZaan Rich Terracotta cocoa powder 478g T45 Flour 96g deZaan Rich Terracotta cocoa powder 478g T45 Flour 380g Flour 19g Granulated sugar 24g Salt 29g Fresh yeast 96 Butter (cold) 306g Dry butter (Beurre Tourage) |
Warm the milk to approx. 50°C and blend with Rich Terracotta cocoa powder until smooth. Allow this to hydrate for a minimum of 3hrs at 4°C. Once hydrated, start by mixing the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl (dough hook attachment). Warm ¼ of the cocoa liquid. Add fresh yeast and mix until smooth. Add directly into the mixing bowl. Start mixing the dough and add the remaining liquid. Mix to a dough-like texture. Add butter. Make sure that the temperature of the dough stays around 24-26°C. Mix to a smooth dough where the dough springs back when poked. Leave to rest at room temperature for 1 hour then transfer to refrigerator for further cooling. Prepare beurre tourage by shaping and rolling into a rectangle and approx. 1cm thick. Once the dough has been cooled, roll it out to about 1cm thick (sticking to a rectangular shape) double the length of the dry butter, and a bit wider. Place dry butter in the middle of the dough and fold flaps over. Creating a 3- fold pamphlet. Make sure all edges are sealed with dough. Roll dough to stick butter and dough together (making them into one unified dough). Make sure to keep the rectangular shape. Wrap it and let it rest in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour. Give the dough its first turn. Take out the dough and roll it out lengthwise (keeping the rectangular shape intact) to about 1cm thick. Continue with the book fold method. After the first turn and resting process, give the dough a second turn. Repeat folding steps once more (3 turns in total). Once the dough has rested well, roll it out to about 6 – 8mm thick, 30cm in length, and 22-24cm wide. Cut into heart shapes. Proof at room temperature (25ºC) until it has doubled in size. Bake covered with a silpat and a rack at 175°C. (Vent Open) until baked through. |
