Croissant - Bake Along #80 ~ 牛油可颂

It's Bake-Along time again. This round we are baking Croissant. 
A friend ask my boy: Do you like Croissant? 
                  My boys: Yes, we do. 
                 My friend: Do you buy them from the bakery often? 
              My second: No, we don't cause my mummy can bake well....
                          Me:  LOL (i don't really bake that well, i am only an amateur :D )
Croissant have always in my to bake list. My list is as long as a locomotive or even longer ... lol  Since Bake-Along event is baking Croissant i am joining in the fun.
This my first attempt baking a croissant.

Love the flaky layers so much!!. 

  抱了这个食谱很久了。很想学着试做做看但是总是没勇气 ,kiasu嘛!哈哈!
这是我的处女作哦!还好家人和孩子都给了我鼓励。送了我好多好多小拇指。。呵呵!选择这个食谱的原因是食谱材料不多样,示范的是林绣美老师(我个人很喜欢她的食谱),还有食谱的做法很适合我们这里热带的气候呢!做可颂是有一点麻烦,需要保持面团里的牛油冷冻。还需要把包上冷冻牛油的面团擀平扁,折,冷冻。。擀平扁,折,冷冻。。再擀平扁,折再冷冻后才可以开始做可颂。冷冻的牛油夹在擀平和对折的面团和冷冻牛油之间产生了有层次的可颂面包。

 It is flaky and buttery and it is so good to enjoy over a cuppa of coffee。
外皮酥酥的,里面软软,总满牛油香气,吃起来酥软再配上杯咖啡超可口。

Croissant
Recipe adapted from Yum Yum magazine (volume 72)
1 make 2/3 of the original recipe. Below is the record of my 2/3 recipe.
Makes 6 croissant and some balance cut out from the sides i made them into mini pleated loaf

Ingredients A:
300g bread flour
35g castor sugar
6g salt
15g yeast
170ml water
35g egg

50g butter

Ingredients B:
200g butter

To Do:
1。(make dough) In a mixer bowl stir together water, sugar and yeast. Add in bread flour and salt, mix with dough hook at low speed till dough is form. Add in butter mix again until dough is smooth, about 8 minutes.

2。(prepare and shape butter) Put the butter into a plastic bag.  Roll out into 0.5cm thick and freeze till it is hard. (i cut the butter about 0.5cm thick and arrange in the plastic bag then slightly roll them between the plastic to let the butter stick together into one piece)

3。(roll out dough) Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as necessary into a oblong shape. Place freeze butter on top and wrap up. Roll out the dough into a oblong shape once again and fold into 3 layers. (like fold as you would a letter). Wrap with cling and put into the freeze for 15 minutes.

4。(roll out dough) Remove from freezer, with the short side nearest to you, roll the dough into oblong again and fold into 3 layers and freeze for another 15 mintues. Repeat this 3 times. 

Note: After each rolling, put dough into freezer for 15 minutes. 
When rolling try do not push to hard but into instead try flatten dough slightly by pressing down horizontally with rolling pin across dough at regular intervals. This will prevent the dough from breaking, which will cause the butter to oozes out, if butter do oozes out sprinkles with flour to prevent sticking)

5。(roll and cut dough) Roll out dough into rectangle shape, then cut into triangle shape with a pizza wheel or sharp knife. With a piece of triangle piece, roll up from the base into a croissant. Place onto a lined baking tray and let it rise for 1 hour. 

6。(bake and serve) Bake in a preheated oven at 180C for 15-20 or until it is golden brown.

1 hour after rise 。。1个小时发酵后

Shark Fin Dumpling ~鱼翅饺

This Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow), is one of my favorite dumpling. Although it is named Shark Fin Dumpling, but they contain no actual shark fin in it. Some say the look and shape of the dumpling does look like shark fin and other do include in imitation shark fin, though. I am lucky to have spotted this long hibernating in the book shelf chinese dim sum book ‘香港地道小吃’ translated as 'Hong Kong Authentic Tapas' Well, Do, you find this look like Shark's Fin?? 看看形状像不像鱼翅呢??  Filling for the ingredients are prawn, mince meat, carrot, yam bean and black fungus. Get ready the filling and the wanton wrappers. This is the parade of my Shark's Fin dumpling ... lol Homemade parchment paper liner. Arrange them neatly into the bamboo steamer. HOT! HOT! From the steamer!! Loaded with filling ..YUM! ENJOY~ Shark Fin Dumpling (yu chi gow) (Scallop dumpling /Cilantro dumpling - depends which filling you using) Recipe adapted from  ‘香港地
