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

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 15 чер 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.
