Salut Guys and welcome to "French Guy Cooking"
This is what we are gonna bake today !
I know valentine's day is coming in just a few days
but I won't enter this commercial mess. No
way ! I made my decision ! period ! you sure ?
okay okay okay I will do it ! stop harassing me like this !
and today I will teach you how to bake a cheat's
a cheat's ? on a French iconic pastry called
Pain au chocolat ! Pain au chocolat ! this is going to be fast
delish and naughty and one more thing
Barry from "my virgin kitchen" has nominated me so this video
is participating to the #delebake challenge #delebake
I'll tell you more about it at the end, let's begin
everybody's making dinner stuff for Valentine's Day
no, like everybody, but if you really want to reach the heart,
reach the heart, you gotta stand out of the crowd and make a beautiful
breakfast with these delicious pastries . The recipe
is very easy. Take a roll of ready made puff pastry
stop it ! you can't use pre made stuff that's just impossible
confiscated ! why not is just to speed up the process !
oh come on be a man, and do it from scratch
alright this puff pastry is a very special one
is called "raised puff pastry" and you need
about seven hours to make it !
okay sorry for that
Take a roll of premade puff pastry ! coat it with melted butter...
sprinkle it with icing sugar.
as far as I know we are not respecting
the classic recipe. so take this opportunity to twist it
even more ! add some cocoa powder, cinnamon powder
or what ever stuff your like. but just don't add some heavy stuff
like syrup or it could prevent it from rising in the oven.
Cut the twisted dough into four thick strips.
trim the excess. of don't waste it.
Use it to go to form a bowl and then
store it in your fridge for like three weeks.
The strips should be about one finger wide
or less. make two stacks. cut each stack in half. Which
at the end makes four pastries. get some chocolate.
normally we use dark chocolate but you can use any type you like.
Cut it into nice batons. well
a in my case just cut it into some
chocolate broken lost bits. To produce the shape of this pastry
proceed as following : place a rectangle in front of you.
place the chocolate bits like if they were a baton
on the right. leave some space between the chocolate
and the edge. Roll it like a sushi.
one-time press down gently. Roll it
one more time and again pressing gently
place the 2nd chocolate baton close to the roll.
last roll and last Press
Trim any excess. this is the shape you wanna have...An oval spiral.
Brush the pastries with an egg wash.
place them on a baking sheet in a preheated often
at 180 celsius or 360°F for 20 to 25 minutes.
"Et voila" the
"Pain au chocolat" re ready ! Golden , light,
crispy and the chocolate just brings it to the next level !
to fully enjoy them you wanna eat them slightly warm.
okay I know it is not the real deal but
in under 30 minutes it unbeatable ! even though
some people might consider this recipe less good
than the classic one so it raises the question how good is a recipe
if you can't make it. if you can't make it.
no and please don't tell me you can seven hours
is just a no go for 99 percent of the people. and yes
it matters to me that you are able to reproduce what you've just seen !
To see, I saw, seen. Otherwise, it's not sharing
