Another example for buttery Breton cake is Kouign Amann. It is made of a very rich croissant dough and the dough is then turned in sugar before forming. During the long baking time the sugar caramelize on the bottom of the cake to crackling layer, forms a sweet soft core in the middle of the cake and again caramelizes on the top.<\/p>\n<p>My variant of this high caloric treat is a spin off of my actual sourdough croissant project. And while the croissant needs still a bit of tweaking, I\u2019m more then happy with the Kouign Amann in this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/en\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">sweet starter<\/a> variant. It is not a recipe for inpatient people, just the proof of the dough takes place over night at room temperature. But investing about 24 hours in this cake is more then worth, as this long proof creats a fantastic complex flavour with only a faint hint of sour. If you like palmiers, you will love the buttery caramelic Kouign Amann as well!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h1><u>Kouign Amann<\/u><\/h1>\n<p>yields 12 pieces<\/p>\n<p>Sweet Starter<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin: 5px; padding-right: 0px; border: 0px;\" title=\"Kouign Amann (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Kouign-Amann-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kouign Amann (2)\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>54g <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hefe-und-mehr.de\/2013\/12\/ser-starter-aktuelle-version-mit-angepassten-mengen\/\">Sweet Starter<\/a><\/li>\n<li>54g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>27g Water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Dough<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sweet Starter<\/li>\n<li>210g flour Type 550<\/li>\n<li>200g flour Type 1050<\/li>\n<li>210g Water<\/li>\n<li>20g sugar<\/li>\n<li>10g Malt<\/li>\n<li>25g Butter<\/li>\n<li>10g Salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tourage<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>350g Butter (salted is perfect)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For Forming<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100g sugar<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Mix the ingredients of the sweet starter and let it rise for 2-4 hours at 30\u00b0C, until the volume has doubled.<\/p>\n<p>For the dough knead all ingredients for 7 min at slow speed.<\/p>\n<p>Rest the for 1 hours in the fridge.<\/p>\n<p>Now take the butter out of the fridge, flour it well and pat it with your rolling pin into a square of 17 cm lenght.
