Preparation

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 flavorings (e.g., lemon or orange zest) 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 at room temperature (25v°C / 77 °F) for 30 minutes. Then, transfer the dough to the refrigerator at 3 °C (37 °F) for 15-17 hours.

SHAPING AND LAMINATION Roll out the dough and encase 600g of soft butter. Perform a 4-fold, then a 3-fold, keeping the dough height at 7 mm during the folds. Let the dough rest, covered with a plastic cloth, for 30 minutes at -20°C (-4°F). Roll the dough to a thickness of 3.5 mm and cut 3 strips measuring 8 x 3 cm. Place them on top of each other in a staggered manner and roll them up. Seal the ends in the center and place the roll in a metal muffin cup (bottom diameter 4 cm x height 4 cm) for a total weight of 60g.

LEAVENING Let the croissants rise at 20 °C (68 °F) for 15 hours, until the volume triples.
