Recipe of Kouign-Amann

Join me and let's see how to make Kouign-Amann

Instructions:

Step 1
• Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
• In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Pour the yeast mixture over it and stir to form a sticky dough.
Step 3
• Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth. Shape it into a rectangle, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 4
• Roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle. Place half of the butter slices on the top two-thirds of the dough and fold the bottom third over the butter. Fold the top third down to cover the butter.
Step 5
• Roll the dough again into a rectangle, then fold it into thirds. This completes one "turn."
Step 6
• Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each turn.
Step 7
• Roll out the dough into a large circle. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the dough.
Step 8
• Cut the dough into 8 equal triangles.
Step 9
• Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, and place them in a greased muffin tin.
Step 10
• Let the pastries rise for about 20 minutes. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during this time.
Step 11
• Sprinkle extra sugar on top of each pastry.
Step 12
• Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastries are golden brown and caramelized.
Step 13
• Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
