Method
- Dough
Mix all ingredients for 4 minutes at low speed and 6 minutes at high speed (spiral mixer).
- Dough
The dough temperature should be about 26-28°C. Initial fermentation: about 15-20 minutes.
Divide the dough into pieces of 1.5 kg. Slightly elongate the pieces and leave to rise.
Then roll out into a rectangle and brush with oil (it can be lightly sprinkled with sugar). Fold the rectangle in half and cut into equal strips (about 75 g each). Twist the ends in opposite directions, then coil the dough into a "snail" shape.
Final proof: about 35-40 minutes. After about 25 minutes, brush with egg and place about 25 g of custard cream in the centre. Sprinkle with crumble.
- Custard cream
Combine UniKrem with water and aerate for about 4 minutes at the highest speed (using a whisk).
Bake at 230°C for about 10 minutes (without steam).
After cooling, it can be decorated with fondant or icing sugar.
