I can't find any fresh cake yeast any where.....so I decided to make the next best dough. Puff Pastry.
You know, the mother of all pastry doughs!
I always thought once you mastered this dough, you could pretty much accomplish anything! (that sounds pretty pompous!)
I dug out my trusty recipe, you remember, the one that started my whole teaching gig. I had some President butter in the fridge this time. My homage to France! I'm always surprised to find little French friends in the grocery. A cool morning and I was prepping my detrempe!
Again, all was well in the baking world and I had some great dough to play with.
Easy to roll out and shape. I had some Serrano ham in the fridge along with feta and thought a little lunch 'braid' would work well.
My next pastry temptation was a cream cheese cherry turnover. I added a little lime zest and it really brought the cream cheese mix to life.
Guess what I found at the grocery today? Yep.....fresh yeast. Got my Croissant recipe out again. I'm on my way to make some dough. I'm thinking Almond Croissant & Pain au Chocolate this time. What do you think??
