Receta de masa de bollería danesa (método fácil)

Ingredientes

• 1 cup milk (lukewarm)
• 2 tsp dry yeast (Instant or Active)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 8 oz unsalted butter (frozen)

Preparación

1. 1

   Combine: Warm 1/2 cup of milk to 110°F. Combine the warmed milk with yeast and sugar, then let it sit for 10 minutes until the yeast blooms.

2. 2

   Whisk: In a separate dish, add the remaining 1/2 cup of milk and egg. Whisk until it is well combined.

3. 3

   Grate: In another separate large bowl, add flour and salt. Grate the frozen butter on the large side of a grater. Toss the butter with flour as you grate it in.

4. 4

   Stir: Add all the liquid ingredients to the butter/flour mixture. Using a spatula, stir to combine together until you have everything combined. The dough may look rough and sticky, but that is normal.

5. 5

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

6. 6

   Roll: Sprinkle the working surface lightly with flour. Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/3 inch thick. Fold the dough over like a paper, then roll it again to 1/3 inch thick. Repeat 3 times until you reach smooth dough. Work quickly to prevent the butter from melting.

7. 7

   Refrigerate: Place the plastic wrap or parchment paper on the dough and fold it over. Leave to refrigerate for at least 2 more hours.
