- 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
- 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.
- Beat the butter and lard together until soft and evenly mixed, then divide into three.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, with the fat sizzling around them.
- Cool on a rack for a few minutes and eat warm, or toast them later.
