KNEADING TIME Start by kneading flour, eggs, milk, Finum, and half of the sugar on low speed for 5 minutes. Once the dough starts to come together, add the remaining sugar and salt. Continue kneading on medium speed for another 4 minutes until the dough is fully developed. Add the and the chopped butter. Continue kneading on low speed for another 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
DOUGH TEMPERATURE 28 °C (82 °F)
DOUGH RESTING Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest for 1 hour until it has doubled in volume. Then, transfer the dough to the refrigerator at -10 °C (14 °F) for 12-14 hours.
SHAPING AND LAMINATION Roll out the dough and encase 500 g of lamination butter. Perform two 4-folds. Let the dough cool down. Roll the dough to a thickness of 3.5 mm and cut triangles. Gently roll the triangles to form croissants of 70 g.
LEAVENING Let the croissants rise overnight.
BAKING Bake in a convection oven at 170 °C (338 °F) for 20 minutes.
Note: The recipe, times, and temperatures should be adjusted based on the techniques and equipment used.
