Cruffin is a cross between a croissant and a muffin – it’s a muffin that’s made from laminated croissant dough and filled with different flavors and ingredients such as pastry cream, peanut butter, cream and strawberries, chocolate, salted caramel, and many others.

Ingredients

  • flour (all-purpose) 150g.

  • flour (type 0 or bread flour) 150g.

  • salt 1 teaspoon

  • dry yeast 7g.

  • lukewarm water 130ml.

  • sugar 2 tablespoons

  • butter (room temperature) 210g.

  • optional: 1 egg for eggwash

Directions

  • Sift the flour and add the salt. Then combine.
  • In a bowl, mix the sugar with dry yeast, then add the lukewarm water. Leave to rest for a few minutes.
  • Using a stand mixer (or you can just do it by hand; as I did it until now), pour the water mix and combine with the flour.
  • Knead a low speed for 5 minutes and add 50g of butter. Then increase to medium speed and knead for the other 10-15 minutes. If you see the dough is too dry, add 1 or a maximum of 2 tablespoons of lukewarm water. The dough has to be elastic and smooth (and not sticky).
  • Leave to rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
  • Once ready, divide the dough into 8 pieces and roll thin layers (as thin as you can get).
  • Spread the rest of the butter on each layer (160g) and roll them as in the video.
  • Cut each of them into two halves. Roll and place them into the muffin tray (previously greased with butter).
  • Leave to rise for 1 hour and a half or even two (or until they doubled the volume), then brush them with egg wash.
  • 10. Bake the muffins for 15 minutes in the preheated oven at 200°C.
  • Leave to cool down and add any topping you like (fruit jams, Nutella, chocolate, peanut butter).
