Cruffin Dough Ingredients

  • 605 g all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
  • 66 g granulated sugar
  • 12 g kosher salt
  • 60 g sourdough starter
  • 214 g water (at room temperature)
  • 120 g whole milk (at room temperature)
  • 57 g unsalted butter (cut into ½-inch pieces, softened at room temperature)
  • 60 g mini chocolate chips I recommend Enjoy Life
  • 1.5 g Optional: active dry yeast (0.2%)
  • 340 g unsalted butter (for laminating) 84-86% butterfat, I used Kerrygold

Instructions
 

Day 1: Prepare the Cruffin Dough (Detrempe)

  • In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and kosher salt.
  • Add the sourdough starter, room temperature water, and whole milk. Mix until combined.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 to 10 minutes until it's smooth.
  • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let it rise at room temperature for 8-12 hours or until doubled in size.

Day 2: Laminating The Dough

  • Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle.
  • Place the softened unsalted butter in the center of the dough. Fold the sides over the butter, enclosing it completely.
  • Roll out the dough again to a large rectangle and fold it like a letter. Repeat this step two more times to create layers.
  • After the final fold, chill the dough in the fridge for at least an hour.

Day 3: Shaping and Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll the dough into a rectangle again, sprinkle chocolate chips on top, then roll it into a log.
  • Cut the log into pieces and place them in a lightly greased muffin tin.
  • Let the cruffins rise for about 30 minutes.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown and puffed up. Cool before serving.

Notes

Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with melted chocolate. Best paired with coffee or tea. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
