Red dough

(to apply to the 3200 g dough parcel)

  1. Remove 800 g of dough and add the red colouring.
  2. Proof both doughs at 26°C until doubled in volume.
  3. For the classic croissant dough, give one single turn, then run the dough through a sheeter to obtain a rectangle measuring 40 × 60 cm.
  4. Blast chill to 0°C together with the coloured dough.
  5. Let both doughs rest for 12 hours in the refrigerator.
  6. The next day, encase the lamination butter in the croissant dough.
  7. Give it one single turn. Place the red dough sheet on top of the plain croissant dough, moistening the surface slightly with water to ensure proper adhesion.
  8. Proceed with a final single turn. Roll the dough out to 60 × 40 cm.
  9. Let rest at 4°C for 30 minutes. Sheet to a thickness of 4 mm, then cut into rectangular strips measuring 3 × 15 cm.
  10. Take 3 strips at a time and layer them, offsetting each by 3 cm. Roll the strips around themselves to form a swirl.
  11. Then fold all three outer flaps of dough towards the centre, passing underneath.
  12. Place the resulting swirls into Pavoni FF 11 micro-perforated moulds.
  13. Proof at 27°C for approximately 3 hours.
