@LukeSmithKitchen2 жыл бұрын
I was trained by a local commercial bakery which has been going for over 100 years and I could also easily crimp at the same rate. The issue is, you and I now would struggle to slow down to show the process. I decided to film this on day 1 of learning, while it was fresh in my mind, but I wasn't yet comfortable, and being told 'once you learn, you can't slow down'. There's no way I could slow the crimp now to show somebody easily :-)

This was probably only my 10th odd pasty I'd crimped. :)

If you add yeast to the dry mix keep it away from the concentrated salt until you start the mixing. Easier to add it to the water and mix it in to make sure it’s fully wetted. The water should be 37 to 40 deg C ideally, no higher. I’d add the sugar to the water to give the yeast a bit of grub.

Baking block is best for pastry to work with. Don't be precious with the lard or baking block. I now use 2 baking blocks. I have both in the fridge, but put one in the freezer for 20 minutes while prepping, then lop slices off with a sharp knife. The chunks of block or lard help keep the pastry flakier. Try 400g strong bread flour with 1 baking block or lard. Lard will be a tougher shorter crust. Other than that all you need is 150 to 200ml ice cold water and half a teaspoon of salt to season. Good luck!

Hello there, greetings from North Yorkshire! Please can you tell me the pastry recipe you use as I think it is critical to the crimp. I have only managed to crimp like you once, and I think that was a bit of a fluke, usually the dough is too soft and won't crimp properly at all so some guidance would be awesome.
@LukeSmithKitchen5 жыл бұрын
Hi Jeff, my recipe has changed. It's super easy though. The key is cold hands and cold dough. Leave it in the fridge if it's not cold enough. You can use lard or baking block or butter. I tend to use baking block a lot as the wife is a veggie. I have another video with all the pastry ingredients but technique wise don't be fragile like I was in the video. I tend to mix in a stand mixer now but I will measure the flour, lop slices of baking block in on top and give it a mix until it starts to bind, then slowly add the ice cold water. You may not need all the water. It will form into a lump. A quick hand knead Then chill it for an hour before rolling once
@LukeSmithKitchen5 жыл бұрын

My dad owned henderson's pasties, in Cornwall. Quite a big successful pasty co going back. Alway, he taught me to make pasties a similar way to this video and it's the only one on youtube that replicates the pasty dough we used. The trick was the large chunks of butter. Do not listen to anyone who tells you to make shortcrust pastry and make it into fine breadcrumbs, you'll just get a crumbly pasty. You need the large chunks worked in. Then when you turn it on itself several times you're integrating layers. It needs a lot of layers to become puff pastry, and rough puff pastry uses around 3-5 layers and several rests. My dads company turned it into itself 3 times quickly, no resting, then rolled a final time to make the dough, then worked in it straight after that before the butter melted. In this video the guy is making a flaky pastry with the large chunks of butter, and folding it into itself is going down the route of a puffier pastry, so it becomes very flaky but not quite puff. So take it from me, someone who was around the pasty industry a lot, this person has nailed it pretty close. We also used a a strong bread flour, and most places tell you not to, because of the gluten buildup, but trust me, it will be easier to work with and crimp and if you work in a good timeframe you won't have gluten issues.

Glad to hear Luke. How have you gotten on with it? You should find a more flaky pastry, with less puff, but no crumbling. I was always taught that the resting just gives gluten a chance to do its thing and turn the pasty into a more solid contraption, so that's why my dads company always tried to get them in the oven as soon as possible, so they would be crispy/flaky but not too "hard".

We have an organic shop near to us and they sell artisan loaves. Always seem very hard to me and they are £3.00 a throw.
