For lamination:
150g Margarine for lamination/croissants
Optional:
Flavoring of choice (vanilla, butter flavor, citrus, etc.)
Procedure:
Combine all the dry ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer and start mixing at low speed, preferably using the paddle attachment.
Gradually pour in the liquids in a steady stream, then increase to medium-high speed and continue mixing for 5-6minutes. From time to time, with the machine stopped, scrape down the sides of the bowl using a spatula and bring the dough back to the center. It is essential to obtain a smooth, homogeneous, firm mixture, completely free of lumps.
Meanwhile, shape the margarine into a rectangle with a thickness of about 1cm. It does not need to be perfectly precise; it is sufficient that the thickness is even. If the ambient temperature is particularly high, it may be helpful to place the margarine in the refrigerator for 3-4minutes before the lamination phase.
Transfer the dough to the work surface and, using rice starch for dusting, roll it out with a rolling pin into a narrow, elongated rectangle with a thickness of 8mm, sufficient to place the margarine block in the center and fold the remaining dough over it to fully enclose it. This is the classic method for enclosing the fat in a laminated dough, as used for puff pastry.
Perform 3 single turns (“three-fold turns”) at a thickness of 8mm, without pauses or resting between one turn and the next. Use rice starch only if necessary and without excess, otherwise the dough will dry out too much.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of 3-4mm and cut into the desired shapes, in this case obtaining 8 triangles. Lightly spray the surface of each triangle with water and roll up to form the desired product, then place on a baking tray lined with baking paper.
Dust the surface lightly with powdered sugar and bake as indicated. Remove from the oven and allow to cool either on the tray or on a wire rack.
Consume within 48 hours, storing in an airtight container. To restore freshness, the product can be briefly reheated in a very hot oven. Freezing is not recommended.
Please note that the indicated baking times and temperatures may vary depending on factors such as the type of equipment used, product sizes, etc., and that the liquids specified in the recipe may need to be adjusted according to the hydration level of the flours and starches used.
Tips & tricks:
This recipe is designed for making a laminated croissant dough without yeast, which means it will not develop the characteristic rise provided by fermentation.
The margarine can be substituted with butter or a laminated butter/melange for croissants to achieve a more flavorful and aromatic product.
It is also perfect for a savory version; in this case, simply reduce the sugar to 25g and increase the salt to 8g, and of course omit any flavorings typical of a sweet product, such as vanilla.
It is important that the final thickness of the dough does not exceed 3-4mm, so that - even without yeast - the lamination can form properly during baking, thanks to the evaporation of water contained in the dough.
Angel ZERO is a concentrated powder additive: gluten-free, wheat-free, with no added sugar or salt, no ingredients of animal origin (100% vegan), and no preservatives, colorants, emulsifiers, or leavening agents.
Can I make the recipe without Angel ZERO?
For doughs such as those used for croissants, puff pastry, or bread, the answer is no: leaving out Angel ZERO completely compromises the final result, risking wasted time and ingredients.
For simpler doughs, you can try replacing Angel ZERO with another ingredient, but the result will never be the same.
With croissant dough or puff pastry, what else can I make?
Our recipes are intended as starting points, designed to help you develop your own customized solutions or to create a wide variety of other products.
With croissant dough, you can prepare Danish pastries, Pain au chocolat, sweet or savory filled pastries, and more. With puff pastry, you can make mini pizzas, cream horns, savory pies, vol-au-vent, and many other preparations.
What can I dust my work surface with to prevent the dough from sticking?
For laminated doughs, such as puff pastry, croissants, etc., it is IMPERATIVE to use rice starch, tapioca starch, or potato starch, in that order. Avoid using flour of any type or grain size, as it alters the composition of the dough, making it dry and creating micro-cracks on the surface.
For bread, pizza dough, etc., it is recommended to use any type of starch, but it is also possible to use very fine grain glutenfree flour.
In any case, it is recommended to use only the amount strictly necessary for the preparation and to remove the excess, especially when preparing puff pastry doughs.
Why don't you use cornstarch in recipes?
Because we want to offer an alternative to the usual ready-to-use industrial mixes, which are largely composed of corn starch.
Proposing recipes based on this same ingredient would be inconsistent with our vision.
Of course, those who prefer can substitute cornstarch for potato starch. It's a cheap and easy-to-find ingredient, but it tends to dry out the products more quickly.
Do I need a mixer?
Yes, while it's possible to prepare the dough by hand or with household appliances, it's highly recommended to use a mixer, even a non-professional one, as long as it's powerful enough to properly prepare the dough.
