Berry Kouign Amann Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a bowl, combine warm water and yeast, let it sit for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Make a well and add milk, eggs, and the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a dough.

2. 2

   Knead the Dough

   Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Place it in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

3. 3

   Prepare the Butter Layer

   While the dough is rising, soften the butter and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

4. 4

   Laminate the Dough

   Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle. Place the butter layer in the center and fold the dough over it. Roll it out again and fold it into thirds. Repeat this process two more times.

5. 5

   Add the Berries

   After the final fold, roll the dough out into a rectangle again, sprinkle fresh or frozen berries (such as blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries) over the surface, and fold it over to encase the berries.

6. 6

   Shape and Bake

   Cut the dough into squares and place them in a greased muffin tin. Let them rise for another 30 minutes. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
