Kouign-amann
Kouign-amann
Kouign-amann is a delicious pastry from France. It’s made with layers of buttery dough that’s folded and caramelized in sugar, resulting in a crispy, caramelized exterior and a soft, flaky interior.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter chilled and cut into small cubes
- 1 cup granulated sugar divided
- 1/2 cup warm water
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate small bowl, dissolve 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar in the warm water. Pour this mixture into the flour and butter mixture.
- Mix and knead the dough until it comes together and forms a smooth ball. Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle half of the remaining granulated sugar over the dough, then fold the dough into thirds, similar to folding a letter.
- Rotate the dough 90 degrees, then roll it out again to a 1/4 inch thickness.
- Sprinkle the remaining granulated sugar over the dough, and again, fold the dough into thirds.
- Roll the dough out once more, but this time to a 1/2 inch thickness.
- Cut the dough into squares or circles, depending on your preference.
- Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Place the Kouign-amann pieces onto the sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Allow the Kouign-amann to cool slightly before enjoying.
