  • Preparation: 165 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (77.9 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Contains: dairy, gluten, pork

Ingredients

  • 32 g Flour, strong white
  • 22 g Water, lukewarm
  • 0.6 g Yeast, dried
  • 1 g Sugar
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 14 g Butter, soft
  • 8 g Lard, soft

Method

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in the lukewarm water, mix in the flour and salt and knead for 5 minutes to a soft dough. Cover and leave to rise for 45 minutes, until doubled.
  2. Beat the butter and lard together until soft and evenly mixed, then divide into three.
  3. Roll the dough out on a floured surface into a long rectangle about 1 cm thick. Spread one third of the fat over the top two-thirds, fold the bottom third up and the top third down like a letter, and chill for 15 minutes.
  4. Turn the dough a quarter turn, roll it out again and repeat with the second third of the fat, then chill for 15 minutes; repeat once more with the last of the fat.
  5. Roll the dough out 1.5 cm thick and cut it into squares. Push each into a rough, flattish round, crinkly rather than neat, and set them apart on a lined tray. Leave to rise for 45 minutes. Heat the oven to 200 °C.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, with the fat sizzling around them.
  7. Cool on a rack for a few minutes and eat warm, or toast them later.
