Yeast

120g

Preparation

  • Knead all the ingredients for about 20 minutes until you obtain a smooth, silky dough with a soft consistency.
  • Shape the dough into a single mass and let it rest for 40 minutes to start fermentation. Then flatten the dough to stop the fermentation.
  • Divide the dough into two portions of 1800 g each.
  • Perform a positive blast-chilling cycle to achieve a better result during the folding stage.
  • Leave overnight in the refrigerator, flattened and covered, at 2°C.

Butter 82%m.g.

40g

Preparation

  • Proceed as with the French croissant dough: knead all the ingredients except for the water, butter, and cocoa, which will be added once the dough is completed.
  • It is recommended to prepare a batter with melted butter, warm water, and cocoa before incorporating it into the dough. The ratio between the colored dough and the main dough is 1:4 (in this case, 450 g of colored dough to 1800 g of main dough, not including the weight of the butter layer).

Lamination

Ingredients

Butter  - in plaques

500g

Preparation

  • Laminate the first dough of 1800 g with 500 g of butter in sheets, giving it a single fold (book fold) and then a single 3-fold.
  • Laminate the second dough of 1800 g with 500 g of butter in sheets, giving it two 4-folds.
  • Roll out 450 g of green colored dough to the same dimensions as the laminated doughs, and place it on top of the laminated dough with 2 single 4-folds, lightly moistening it to adhere.
  • Cover all the doughs and let rest for 2 hours at 0–2°C.

Final composition

  • Cut small strips of dough about 0.5 cm wide from the dough with 2 single 4-folds and with the green dough on top.
  • Lay the strips flat on top of the dough with one 3-fold and one 4-fold, covering it completely.
  • Roll the dough to 3 mm thickness in the sheeter, making sure the strips remain perpendicular to the rollers, thus stretching them lengthwise without widening them.
  • Cut strips 14 cm long and 2.5 cm wide.
  • Create a weave with 4 strips and place a brownie square in the center.
  • Fold the remaining parts of the strips under the brownie to enclose it.
  • Let the pastry proof at 26°C.
  • Bake at 150°C for about 25 minutes.
