What is the secret for puff pastry that stays crisp longer?

Puff pastry and viennoiseries get their crispiness, among other factors, when moisture doesn’t seep out between the layers of dough and butter. Using a high-fat butter sheet with low water content creates a better barrier during baking, resulting in an extra crisp result that lasts longer.

Thanks to its high fat content, Corman Extra Concentrated Butter Sheet 99% MF guarantees that your preparations will have an extra crispy texture, as well as even more intense buttery flavour.

How to optimize your production of leavened puff pastry for maximum yield?

Usually, there is some loss after laminating, as the dough tends to shrink. Using a butter sheet with good plasticity not only allows you to avoid this shrinkage and therefore make more viennoiseries from the same weight of your original dough, but it facilitates rolling, turning and folding, without the butter escaping from the dough packet or having the dough stick to your fingers.

Thanks to its unique texture and plasticity, Corman Extra Butter sheet is the only one that stands up to dough shrinkage so well, allowing you to make more viennoiseries with nice layered pastry, that are uniform and as crisp and flavourful as ever.

Which butter sheet should you choose to make dough packets that are easy to work with without compromising on good buttery flavour?

It is sometimes difficult to have to choose between a butter sheet with good, buttery flavour, but that is irregular and difficult to work with when giving the dough its turns and a butter sheet that boasts good plasticity, but that does not guarantee that good buttery flavour that you are after in your viennoiseries. Ideally, you shouldn’t have to choose!

Corman’s Dairy Butter 82% MF is the best option for those who don’t want to have to choose between practicality and flavour. Along with all the features of Corman’s butter sheet range, this is a firm, supple butter that is easy to work with. Crafted exclusively from fresh cream, it boasts a unique, typical dairy flavour.

How to save time when making viennoiseries?

Preparing your butter sheet before beginning to getting down to preparing your puff pastry can take time. Between bringing it up to temperature and laminating it, precious quarter hours are lost in a full day of production. Using a pre-laminated butter sheet truly makes a difference.

Pre-laminated to 8 mm, it already has the optimal thickness. In 20 seconds, you can take Corman Express butter out of the fridge, enclose it in the dough packet and begin to give it its turns. A real timesaver!
