Ingredients:

Dry ingredients:
240g Potato starch
30g Tapioca starch
30g Wholemeal buckwheat flour
30g Whole cane sugar
1g Cocoa powder (Opt.)
5g Salt
20g Fresh baker's yeast
30g ANGEL MIX 3.0

Liquids:
175g Water
20g Honey
15g Seed oil

To browse:
150g Margarine for puff pastry/croissant

Procedure:

Combine all the dry ingredients in the bowl of the stand mixer and start it at low speed, preferably using the paddle attachment.

Gradually pour in the liquids in a thin stream and increase to medium-high speed, continuing to mix for 5-6 minutes. From time to time, with the machine stopped, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula and bring the dough back to the center. It is essential that you obtain a smooth, homogeneous, firm, and lump-free mixture.

Meanwhile, shape the margarine into a rectangle, bringing it to a thickness of about 1cm. It does not need to be perfectly precise, as long as the thickness is uniform. If the room temperature is particularly high, place it in the refrigerator for 3-4 minutes before the lamination stage.

Transfer the dough onto the work surface and, using rice starch as dusting flour, roll it out with a rolling pin into a long, narrow rectangle, 8mm thick, large enough to place the margarine block in the center and fold the remaining dough over it. This is the classic method used to encase the fat in laminated dough for puff pastry.

Give three single turns, maintaining a thickness of 8mm, without resting between turns. Use rice starch only if necessary and do not overuse it, otherwise you will dry out the dough.

Then roll out to a thickness of 6mm and cut into the desired shapes. Do not discard any dough scraps; instead, divide them and place them in the center of each piece before rolling. Lightly spray the tips of the triangle with water and roll to form the desired product, then place it on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Cover with a bag previously brushed with oil or non-stick spray and leave to proof as indicated.

Preheat the oven, remove the tray from the bag, and bake as directed. If desired, dust the surface of the cornetto with vanilla powdered sugar to achieve a deeper golden color.

Let cool on a wire rack and, once completely cool, transfer to the freezer. You can store the croissants at room temperature for about 48 hours or up to 30 days at -18°C.

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:

The number and type of folds affect the final result: fewer folds = a more developed and airy product; more folds = a less developed product with a denser interior.

Let the cornetto cool completely before slicing it. This allows the residual moisture to redistribute within the product, helping the crumb structure become well defined and clearly visible.

The cocoa is used only to give a touch of color to the final product, but you can omit it if this aspect is not important to you.

Dissolve the honey in the water before adding it to the dry ingredients. Alternatively, pour it directly onto the dough toward the end of mixing so it can be properly incorporated.

You can glaze the surface of the croissant with slightly warmed, fluid honey, but only after the cornetto has completely cooled.

What is Angel Mix?

Angel Mix is a concentrated powdered additive that's gluten-free, wheat-free, corn-free, and soy-free, and 100% vegan. It's used to prepare all types of sweet or savory gluten-free puff pastries - both with margarine and/or butter - and other gluten-free baked goods.

Can I make the recipe without Angel Mix?

For doughs like croissants, puff pastry, or bakery breads, the answer is no: omitting Angel Mix will completely compromise the final result, risking wasted time and ingredients.

For simpler doughs, it is possible to try replacing Angel Mix with another ingredient, but the outcome 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.
