Anyone who has tried croissants at least once will surely fall in love with this pastry for the rest of his life. As a rule, we buy them in a cookery, cafe or store. However, this dessert is not difficult at all to prepare at home. Today we will tell you with condensed milk. The recipes for such pastries are very simple, and the taste and aroma will not leave anyone indifferent.
Puff pastries can be prepared in two ways: from a purchased or self-made dough. The first option is simpler. However, if you want to be sure that only high-quality and fresh products were used for baking, without various additives harmful to health, then, of course, it is best to do the dough yourself. Yes, it will take more time, but the result is worth it.
So, if you decide to make the dough yourself, then you will need to take care of the availability of some products on hand in advance. It:
Please note that it is best to choose the oil with the highest percentage of fat. The ideal option is 82.5%. Be sure to buy flour of the highest grade. Thanks to this, the dough you get the perfect consistency, and the finished croissants with condensed milk will be tender and porous.
To begin with, the flour should be sifted together with salt into a deep bowl. If you don’t do this, the dough will not rise and will not be airy during the baking process. Add sugar and yeast, mix gently. At the next stage, we introduce the egg, milk and water. We knead the dough with a mixer or by hand. Experienced chefs advise the second option so that the baked goods absorb the warmth of your hands. You need to knead the dough for about five minutes.
Make a ball from the resulting dough, put it in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave in a warm place for a couple of hours to rise.
Put the butter that has previously lain at room temperature in a plastic bag or wrap it in plastic and knead it with your hands (you can also beat it with a rolling pin), forming a flat rectangle.
When the dough has approximately doubled, you should start rolling it out. Sprinkle flour on the kitchen table or other work surface. Then you need to flatten the dough ball with your hands and start rolling it out with a rolling pin. As a result, you should have a rectangular layer with a thickness of one to one and a half millimeters.
Then put the prepared butter on one half of the dough. Cover with the other half and roll out again to a thickness of 1-1.5 mm. At the same time, add flour as needed. Now the dough needs to be placed horizontally and wrap the edges, connecting them in the middle. Then you need to wrap it in foil and put it in the refrigerator for half an hour. The same procedure should then be repeated twice more. The finished dough must be refrigerated for a couple of hours, or better overnight.
From the finished puff pastry, previously thawed, we roll out layers a couple of millimeters thick. Cut out isosceles triangles from them. Put the condensed milk filling at the base of each figure and carefully wrap it in a tube. We put them on a baking sheet, leave to stand for a while, then grease with a beaten egg and send to the oven. Our croissants with condensed milk will be baked for about 25 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees. Then they will only have to cool slightly, after which they can be served. Bon Appetit!
