Hi there, everyone!
How about making a Kouign-amann for a snack?

I have to admit, I don’t often bake sweet dishes.
But I fell in love at first bite with Kouign-amann! 🌩

The combination of the soft, brioche-like center and the crispy, caramelized layers is just an explosion of flavor.

Now you see why I’m obsessed?

I’ll admit, this recipe uses a lot of butter and sugar, but oh wow, it’s so delicious! 😋

It’s perfect for a snack or breakfast with a cup of coffee ☕️ or tea 🍵.

Here’s the recipe so you can enjoy it too.

Enjoy!
Big hugs 😘 👩🏻‍🍳

Steps

1

Let the butter soften at room temperature.
2

In a small bowl, mix the dry yeast with the 3 tablespoons of warm water.
3

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.
4

Start mixing. Gradually add more warm water as needed to form a dough.
5

Lightly flour your work surface and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Let it rest at room temperature until it triples in size, about 2 hours.
6

On a floured surface, knead the dough again. Roll it out with a rolling pin into a square about 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick.
7

Spread the softened butter over the dough with a butter knife and sprinkle 1/3 of the sugar on top.
8

Fold the dough in thirds lengthwise, then fold it once widthwise.
9

Roll out the dough again to 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick. Add more butter and sugar. Repeat this step a third time.
10

Place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
11

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).
12

Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a spiral and place them in the baking pan.
13

Brush melted butter on top and sprinkle with a little sugar.
14

Bake for 30-35 minutes. Every 10 minutes, brush more butter on top with a pastry brush.
15

Remove the Kouign-amann from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes before removing from the pan.
