Then add half the egg yolks.
Add all the flour at once and then leave the mixture to bind so that the gluten can be activated.
Add the other half of the egg yolks and the rest of the water.
Finally, add the butter and then increase the speed of the mixer.
Scoop the dough out of the mixer with buttered hands and place it in a plastic  bowl.
Make sure to use a large bowl as the dough will triple in size.
Coat the surface of the dough with butter and make a mark where the dough reaches on the sides of the bowl.

Mix the flour with the mixture from yesterday for a minimum of 5 minutes to keep generating the gluten, then add the crème pâtissière and mix for another 5 minutes.
