How does /ck/ feel about the gianduja kouign amann at chanson?

>kouign amann
shit is hard to make

some areas of mine rose nicely, the rest was a multilayered mushed butter soaked brick

I make these at the bakery I work at, one the few that does in the area I live. It took a looooong fucking time to get the technique right but now they come out goddamn boss every time. I don't really get how people eat these tho. Too fuckin rich, and we have customers who will eat two or three.

Could be several things. If I'd had to hazard a guess, I'd say your letting the dough get too hot while your laminating it, and it's causing the butter to pool in weird places?

How much of a proof are you putting on them? I've found that they bake better with a fairly low proofing time, too proofed and they get weird.

i think this is what may have messed it up. i tend to let anything with yeast proof far longer than it should

and yeah it is really rich

I love kouign amann, had some in San Malo, Brittany and they were heavenly.

Probably one of my favourite pastries, it's a shame I can't find anywhere that makes them in my city and I can't bake for shit, regardless of how strictly I follow the recipes it always fucks up.

Why add that? Brittany language sounded too Celtic and some Italian had to be added? Butter bread wasn't rich enough?

Also what kind of place is called "song" in French?

Lol

For me it's the cronut

My first cursory read of this post had me thinking you used rose water.
Now I really need a rosewater kouign amann.

>>8869591
¿Qué?

Never said butter was Breton. I'm pretty sure "kouign amann" is Breton and "gianduja" is Italian.
Did you had one too many cider bowl or something?

My Bretons ancestors are frowning at these.

Don't you people believe everything was invented by Bretons though? Even though everyone knows koign ammans were invented by the French?

You'll be pleased to know they also offer black sesame, and rhubarb jam
>m-muh cultural appropriation

I'm French, not Breton.
Brittany is part of France, so are other regions and their respective local food and folklore. So kouign amann is both French and Breton, like crèpes.

Sure, some separatist will claim Brittany is not part of France, or that France is part of the kingdom of Brittany or something.
It's a local counterculture, they post on goth webforums and carry Breton flags in music festivals, mostly harmless. (Doesn't Texas and California talk about secession occasionally?)

But unlike you French, the rest of the US really wishes TX would secede. CA, not so much.

>>8873466
Can the US secede TX?

darmok and jalad at tanagra?

You mean Nutella?

Oh well, whatever, I learned a new word today.

>Breton flags
Huh. Looks like a sort of weird little American flag. I wonder if they'd be interested in joining us to avoid being overrun by savages.

No, we just wish CA's entire population would die in a giant earthquake.

Brittany was originally an autonomous Celtic nation that was taken over during "The Mad War", so kouign amann and crepes are considered French by extension since Brittany is currently part of France but they are not really, also the fact that the French have historically suppressed Breton language and culture (up till the 1900's) has lead people to believe that it's just another region in France and that Bretons as a group of people or culture aren't a thing so people just call anything that's Breton; French.

The Breton seperatists aren't just a bunch of goths and edgy faggots at music festivals with flags, there's quite a few older folks and other normal people in the movement, it's just that goths and edgy faggots for some strange reason are drawn towards Celtic culture, probably because of the druid shit and mystical bullshit.

There's also another Breton nationalist movement that just wants the two Breton regions to be reunited if I remember correctly.
