How To Make Dominique Ansel's Best Pastry: The DKA

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 15 июн 2019
  • James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Dominique Ansel stopped by the MUNCHIES Test Kitchen to make his signature pastry: the DKA, his take on the Breton pastry known as a kouign-amann, which now outsells the famous Cronut. Dominique shows us how to make a butter block and carefully work the pastry dough to create a perfectly caramelized crust and a flaky, chewy interior. He also shares stories from his childhood in France and explains why no one-not even his family-is allowed to skip the Cronut line.

    He's so down to earth for someone who's so accomplished. "Nobody cuts the line" - seems like a real genuine guy. The mixer thing was funny and it's great that he readily gives away recipes. He probably knows they're too much work and needs knowledge and expertise for a regular person lol.

      Eduardo, you're one of those people who never treat yourself, aren't you? Scared of the pastries. So sad. No one said to eat them everyday. It's a special treat. You do know what a "treat" is? It's not something you eat everyday or even every month.

    Thank you so much Dominique for your amazing recipe! I have used it twice, with great success! Your a fantastic teacher and I ordered your cookbook and it should be here in a couple days 😃p.s... I absolutely hated using my old A/C motor KitchenAid. Mostly because of the noisy wiring sound and the jumping on my table top! Now I have the 6500 KitchenAid and am very happy! I don’t have a commercial kitchen, but I have been branching out with techniques I never thought possible. Thanks to you, I have the confidence! Unfortunately, my husband and I are getting a little too big for our clothes 🤣 I have a question... which type of fine artisan flour do you recommend? I have used an approximate combination of AP (75%) and Bread (25%) flour’s. I have also been adding about 60g or less of bread flour to my butter block. I am not sure if that is the right thing to do😬, but it turned out alright. During this pandemic, I have had a lot of time to learn and actually developed a couple recipes. I am thinking of a career change in the not so distant future 🤔
