looks incredible! By the way, I made your artisanal bread today. Came out great! But since I'm fasting for ramadan I can't eat or drink anything for another 5 hours :( you just made fasting ten times harder
Tried many recipes before, but finally achieved layers and had no difficulty in lamination using your recipe and following your video. Even halved the recipe, made smaller the butter block & rolled the dough to shorter size. Success! Thank you so much!! Taste is great, not too sweet!
I come from Kouign Amann country (France, Brittany. I am more near the cost and the acutal village the dessert is from is a tad bit inland from me). The one thing that confuses me when I find my favourite dessert online is that they are always in these small muffin forms. Not that i'm saying its bad or an injustice but the ones I've always had were more the size of cakes. They were always so hard to make that you had to buy them from the special bakeries. The small village I grew up in had 3 bakeries. One for the bread. One for the normal cakes. And one for the Kouing Amanns. They were all within the same 200m radius of the village centre.
Thank you for your comment. I saw the ones you are referring to in a French documentary and was so amazed that they looked like cakes. I think maybe from making it at home I wanted to make it easier for people to understand so they can make fresh pastries at home :) Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Most Americans and most American bakers have never had a kouign-Aman from Brittany so they don’t understand that they are usually baked in round cake pans that they are about 6-8 “. Most bakers in the US are likewise uninformed and think that croissant dough rolled in a bit of sugar and salt is the correct dough. It is not. The dough or Kouign-Aman is not croissant dough, it is a lean dough bread dough laminated with SALTED butter and sugar. Typically the SUGAR IS LOCKED IN WITH THE BUTTER BLOCK so it gets well distributed throughout the dough. It’s a pity that they’ve taken this exquisite pasty and misinterpreted it. The vrai Brittany Kouign-Aman is a symphony of textures: crispy, chewy, moelleux and moist with butter and sugar.
I am glad I did a double batch of the dough. Messed up the first lamination on the book turn... Butter shot out the edge and the dough tore in several places. 2nd batch still had some butter leaking while rolling out but the end result was fantastic
Sounds Great! The butter coming out of the sides is still not that bad but butter cracking in the dough due to being too cold is just irreparable. I am sure they would have looked amazing!
@@peacefulbakingThank you for the reply! I think I diddnt have enough gluten development, my dough felt a little soft while being difficult to roll out. I plan on trying again soon.
Can you please show us how to make the "Italian Meringue" Method for making macarons? Thank you for showing us with your expertise on how to make these delicious pastries and sharing your recipes. Keep up the excellent work and videos.
Thank you for the video. I’ve made this pastry many times and the only time they haven’t come out right was when I wasn’t paying enough attention to what I was doing, or trying to rush the process. You took your time with each step and the end result was amazing. Beautiful pastries. Btw, may I ask where you got your rolling pin? Thanks again.
Thank you for your comment :) The rolling pin is called a French Rolling Pin. I got it from a local bakery shop when I was living in Sydney. If you search for a French Rolling pin on amazon you will be able to find a lot of options :) Please select based on the size you require and you feel comfortable with while rolling. Thank you
Thank you. Yes Exactly. All the fermentation needs to be concentrated at the final ferment stage Sometimes when the croissant dough ferments in the lamination stage it leads to air bubbles and the layers arent as good because the butter doesnt spread evenly
Bonjour, J ai exactement fait comme il est expliqué sur la video et la pate avec le beurre a été un désastre …le beurre sortait a l exterieur de la pate sur le plan de travail … Avez vous dans la piece ou vous avez filmé la video la climatisation …? Avez vous fait la pate avec une machine , mais faites vous semblant de faire la pâte avec les mains …?
You can freeze the dough but I would advice to free the shaped kouign amann instead. Freezing the dough with the butter slab tends to crack while rolling in my experience. Even in bakeries we always shape croissants and freeze them and put them in zip lock bags. To bake the croissants or kouign amann from frozen you can put it on a tray. It will take a few hours more to proof so I usually let it proof overnight for baking the next day. I hope that helps. Thanks
I used a conventional oven but if you have a convection with a fan base please make sure to reduce the temp of baking by 15 degrees celcius from the given baking time in the recipes since a fan forced oven is usually much hotter. Thank you :)
You've committed a Brittany sin. In Brittany, where this pastry is from, only salted butter is used. Having made the sin myself the first time I tried making a tradition kouign-amann, and being admonished for my sin by a friend in France, I tried the recipe again using salted butter. The result is much better.
They're made like cakes and they do not use bread flour. They use Type 55 or a half/half mix of T55 and T45. Putting them in a muffin tin makes them too crunchy all the way through.
Not the true way Kouign Amani’s are made in France. There are less ingredients. A lady in Salt Lake City years ago brought this recipe back to the states where there were only three people in the country that knew how to make them as this lady learned in France. Down Home with the Neely’s flew to Salt Lake to learn how to make them and was featured in the show.

Haha. Sometimes I have a hard time too recording and not being able to eat it right out of the oven :p

Mda...constat ca este o metoda buna, pe intelesul tuturor, cu rezultate exceptionale! Preparatul arata super, crocante si apetisante! Felicitari!
Mulțumesc foarte mult!
Just came out of the oven. Yummy. I don't know how to add a photo so you'll have to believe me. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds amazing!!
Please share pictures with me on Instagram- Peaceful_Baking
Thank you!
I don't know how to tag you 😕
I wish I knew. You can see it on my Instagram Rosenfeldamira
집중 해서 잘 보았어요. 수비 는 손에 마력이 있어요 하루 하루 발전 하는 모습이 참 좋아 요 무긍 한 발전 이 있기를 기대 합니다.

@@drewlovely2668 yeah. Definitely if it is tearing then it needs to be developed more . Do the windowpane test :)
ASMR baking. Love it! Much more soothing than people clicking their fingernails, tapping on stuff or eating in a microphone.
Absolutely beautiful, well-done chef!
Thank you! Congrats on your channel. I loved your sfogliatella video and have had it on my bucketlist for so long.
superb
A perfect video
Loved it. Started with the process this morning. Hope to succeed 🙏
Thank you! Kouign Amann is more forgiving than making croissant. It always tastes nice :)
5 folds?? the absolute madman!
Can you please show us how to make the "Italian Meringue" Method for making macarons? Thank you for showing us with your expertise on how to make these delicious pastries and sharing your recipes. Keep up the excellent work and videos.
Thank you so much Edie
I will definitely work on that video soon
Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you for posting

@@janiskara6564 Happy New Year to you too!
Hello, I was wondering if you could try Paris Breast next! Thank you 🙏😊
Hi There, Definitely. I will be making it soon :)
Nice video! Im going to try it this weekend... Any reason why you freeze then refrigerate the dough? Stopping the initial fermentation?
Thank you. Yes Exactly. All the fermentation needs to be concentrated at the final ferment stage
Sometimes when the croissant dough ferments in the lamination stage it leads to air bubbles and the layers arent as good because the butter doesnt spread evenly
Hi i love all your videos but could you make double chocolate croissant please 🥺
Hi Dyana. Definitely its on my list for sure :)
Bonjour,
J ai exactement fait comme il est expliqué sur la video et la pate avec le beurre a été un désastre …le beurre sortait a l exterieur de la pate sur le plan de travail …
Avez vous dans la piece ou vous avez filmé la video la climatisation …?
Avez vous fait la pate avec une machine , mais faites vous semblant de faire la pâte avec les mains …?
Se pueden meter a fermentadora? Y en si horneao en un horno de convección, cual seria la temperatura y tiempo?
น่าทานมากกกกกกกค่ะ.
ขอบคุณ
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is it possible to refrigerate or freeze the dough? And only use the dough until its needed?
You can freeze the dough but I would advice to free the shaped kouign amann instead. Freezing the dough with the butter slab tends to crack while rolling in my experience. Even in bakeries we always shape croissants and freeze them and put them in zip lock bags. To bake the croissants or kouign amann from frozen you can put it on a tray. It will take a few hours more to proof so I usually let it proof overnight for baking the next day. I hope that helps. Thanks
@@peacefulbaking thank you for sharing the tips. That helps a lot!
Do you bake it with conventional oven, fan forced or convection? Thank you!
I used a conventional oven but if you have a convection with a fan base please make sure to reduce the temp of baking by 15 degrees celcius from the given baking time in the recipes since a fan forced oven is usually much hotter. Thank you :)

Thank you for your comment. I will try do that as well :)
Wonder the water and milk is 75grams or 80grams? As the video and recipes shows differently
Hi Yona, please follow 80 grams. Thank you
No proofing of the kneaded dough? Is that all happening in the steps afterwards?
Exactly. All the proofing at the final stage after shaping
Hi! What kind and brand of sugar do you use?
Hi, I used this one -csrsugar.com.au/products/caster-sugar-1kg
But any caster sugar will do well!
What was the purpose of cutting the edge of the block @5:23?
It is a french technique to get really even layers as butter can spread to the corners if you cut the edges
@@peacefulbaking Thank you!

do you actually expect people to watch a how to video where no one is speaking? Horrible
Lol. Don't watch then. I worked really hard to make this video and if you don't like it don't watch it
This video is very clear! Thank you for the good details
