Ingredients used

  • 2 strips Lecoq croissant dough cut 1 cm width
Croncha topping
  • 50 g AP flour
  • 50 g shortening
  • 50 g powdered sugar
Chocolate topping
  • 75 g plain base topping
  • 10-20 g cocoa powder
Colored topping
  • 75 g plain base topping
  • 2-4 drops gel food coloring

Preparation

  • STEP 1

    Cut two 1.5cm strips from Lecoq croissant dough. Roll the doughs end to end and place them in a 10cm x 3.5cm ring mold. Proof at room temperature for 1.5 – 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.

  • STEP 2

    Preheat oven at 345°F. Place a parchment paper and then a sheet pan on top of the mold with the product and put in the oven. Bake for 14 – 18 minutes.

  • STEP 3

    Remove the ring, flip oven and continue to bake for 3 – 5 more minutes.

  • STEP 4

    For the topping, combine all the ingredients together until a smooth dough forms, and roll out to 1/8" thick.

  • STEP 5

    Cut round using a 3 7/8" ring cutter and place the dough on top of the roll.

  • STEP 6

    Using a sharp small paring knife, cut three curved lines into the dough to create the "shell" design.

  • STEP 7

    Bake at 350°F for 20 - 25 minutes.
