Hi there,

Bakers flour with a gluten % of between 8 & 12%is the best to use for this pastry. Hard or high gluten flour for pastry, pizza and bread and soft flour for cakes and sponges. The exception is sweet paste where soft flour is used.

We are in New Zealand so our brand names won't be any good for yourself.

Hope this helps.

Steve

Hi Bunoy20, we use these videos as a refresher for our polytechnic students assessment dishes, all the ingredient amounts are in their provided recipes workbooks from the polytechnic. This allows us not to have to post every recipe....just the method. Also they are required to transpose the recipes for other final amounts so we leave these out on purpose.

Cheers...Steve

Excellent Video instruction.

[gix500]

at 4:15 very inovative but the only one that can be bought in a danish bakery is the crossaint the rest must be from your own imagination

[Peppepoppldoppl]

@Pingvinmus tyst!

[TheWestHammers]

@baxterenrife

exactly..

low protein flour (9-12%) is the best for making pastry ..

that way you avoid stretching the dough apart

[Pingvinmus]

In danish, "danish pastry" is called "viennise pastry" :o/

[Nowaxhise]

Only real Danes can make Danish pastry!

[tamcitilife]

I was bothered by the ring on the finger when mixing the dough. Otherwise, it is excellence.

Hi, do you think this is something that can be done successfully by an amateur baker at home? Also, once you have folded the pastry, do you reroll it and continue with the next step?

Thanks so much :)) xx

@bew13820 He does say in the video that he's using the English method for this demo'....

[baxterenrife]

what's the best flour to use for making patisserie like this? I've been told that flour that is not so high in gluten is preferable. I live in UK and can't get the ubiquitous (on the net anyway) King Arthur flour..

[icekat83]

Any tips people? I'm trying to find a good pastry which isn't too flaky or thick and can hold up to a bit of liquid. The fewer the ingredients the happier I'll be....any ideas? I like the look of this but too much butter for what I want.

@123vi4fi good thought

[123vi4fi]

wow how much work! i would just go and buy that :)

[kklolwtf]

@ichigopeach are you dumb? everyone uses their hands. when it's all baked, bacteria is killed off anyway if that's even your concern.

[TheWestHammers]

and there's no need to put it in the fridge unless you're really slow

[EveryNina]

Hah i'm sooooo lucky to live in denmark!

[ichigopeach]

When you use your hands like that, it makes me not wanna eat it afterwards, dude.:/

[TheWestHammers]

@BaybiiSin

that's because he isn't doing it the original traditionally danish way..

anyway i agree with you.. this is really great

[sarkanymateka]

Stellwood, may I ask you to write down the recipe (I mean ingredients and amounts and stuff) please. I really would like to know how to make a nice one and this video is amazing, but I cannot find these details anywhere. thank you very much!
