    Excellent recipe. Regarding the pastry cream, to avoid the lumps reserve a portion of cold milk and mix with the corn flour and egg yolks to a smooth paste, once the remaining milk is boiled pour a small amount onto the egg mixture to warm it a little before adding to the remaining boiling milk. No lumps no splitting egg yolks and no need to strain 😊

    I learned this pastry from Ove Mortensen in his bakery in Solvang, CA about 1982. I have been making it since and it is now a specialty in my bakery. The hand techniques of chef Benjamin are very similar to those of my mentor. Some traditions should never die.

    Mix 50g water with 50g flour using your hands and set in a warm place. After 3 days, add 25g flour and 25g water, and repeat this daily for 4 more days. At the end of 7 days (from start) you will notice that it has bubbles, and a sour smell. Discard all but 50g of it. Add 50g water and 50g flour. Repeat this every day for a week 14 days and you have a nice healthy sourdough starter. You may add 1 tbsp of ananas juice on day 7 to kill of low high PH bacteria (that will die with sour juice) that we dont need in our lactic acid bacteria/yeast symbiotic habitat. Remember to feed daily. Your sourdough starter is ready to bake when a 1:1:1 feeding (50g start 50g flour 50 g water) doubles in volume in 4 hours in warm room temperature.

    Of course you can make substitutions! Generally use yeast (fresh or dry) instead of the sourdough; you can use about 7g of dry yeast or 21g of fresh yeast for 500g of flour. Since this recipe already includes yeast, the sourdough isn’t primarily used to make the dough rise but rather to enhance the flavor. You can simply omit it. Regarding the flour, you can use all purpose flour and it’ll work out just fine. But there are speciality flours for laminated doughs. If you’re a homebaker who wants to try this recipe for the first time, you’ll be fine with all purpose flour. :)

    Lol late reply, but here it is: Sourdough contributes both flavor and leavening. However the leavening part usually takes a much longer time with the wild yeast found in sourdough compared to commercially produced yeast. The sourdough here is more for complexity of flavor than it is for rise.

    No it's actually not. You need 2% salt of total flour and water for an artisan bread. If you have 600 g of water and 1000 g of flour (so a 60% hydration), you would need 32 g of salt. It's actually the same percentage if you ferment. You need 2% salt if you ferment things like cabbage, carrots, onions etc.

    It seems redundant to chill the flour for mixing if you place the dough in the refrigerator. I have never chilled flour. The dough will cool during retarding and fermentation. Or am I missing something. Besides a few brain cells. 🤪

    You need to keep the ingredients cool even before refrigerating to keep the yeast from getting overly active. Otherwise the dough in the pan will growth too much and it will be messier to shape. If you mix warm ingredients even though you refrigerate it soon afterwards, the yeast would have had enough of a Kickstart for this to happen.
