My Kouign-Amann recipe gives you the sweet, buttery, European pastries of your dreams. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ¼ cup (2oz/57g) sugar, yeast, and ¾ teaspoon salt together. Stir in the water and 2 tablespoons of butter, and knead for 5 minutes, until the dough is soft and a little tacky.
When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Sprinkle the pastries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown. Remove the kouign-amaan from the tin immediately once it has finished baking and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
You can mix a teaspoon of cinnamon, nutmeg, or ground cardamom (or a little of all three) into the sugar filling to make a spiced kouign-amann! How Do I Store Kouign-Amaan? Kouihn-amaan really is best enjoyed the day they are made, but if you are left with any leftovers, loosely cover them and store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.
