Everyone, this was such a lovely bake - I have baked three batches so far and more are planned, in fact I will be baking "mini" versions for a friend's bridal shower this summer. This bake has been deemed "this is now my favorite bake" from several of my colleagues - you all really should try this recipe. I agree, the dough is easier to work with than the previous laminated dough recipe for Kouign-Amann. I also have prepped the laminated dough, custard and raisins on Day 1; shaped/pre-final proofed the buns on Day 2, cold-proofed overnight and baked the buns on the morning of Day 3. It all works!!

Raisin Snails have always been my favorite bakery pastry (but since I found your website/YT channel in 2021, I really don't shop at bakeries much anymore). The techniques for making the laminated dough is much simpler than using the "slab o' butter". I stocked up on Kerrygold butter and will be using it for your laminated dough recipes. Made the dough Friday evening and shaped, proofed and baked this morning. Sharing with family and neighbors. What a wonderful bake - I am sure I will be making this many more times - will try the "cold-proofing" technique the next time, so I can bake fresh in the morning and share at the office. I might even divide the dough in half and then roll out two "logs" to bake smaller snails for sharing, As ever, thank you for this FANTASTIC recipe video. Photos have been posted (#303).

@ChainBaker I made a second batch of these and am still refining the process. I used the softened butter method and it was great - really easy to manage, however I made a mistake (or 2) when folding the layers and ended up 'over folding' it. Basically I did an extra round of folding trying to get my pastry squared up and I think I made the layers too thin so that when they baked they were a bit too amalgamated - very tasty and light but not as 'layered' as I would like. I also swapped out the orange and soaked the raisins in rum, oh and I tried freezing them as soon as the roll was cut. I pop them out of the freezer the night before and let them thaw and puff up a little overnight before baking in the morning with a fresh made coffee - too good!!! Thanks Charlie I'm loving experimenting with these!

Baked this morning and they are half gone by lunch! I wanted them for mid-morning brunch, so mixed dough at 3:00 pm yesterday, shaped and rolled after supper at 6:00 pm, into fridge for night at 7:00 pm out of fridge at 7:30 am, baked 9:00 to 9:33 (340 degrees F, no fan) and cooled enough to ice for 10:00 brunch. We actually preferred them cooler, two hours later. Some of the best pastries I've ever tasted, and even better: my wife loves them. I substituted 1/2 tsp of Mexican Vanilla extract for the vanilla paste. I cut recipe into 8 pieces plus two small end trimmings, and they are still decadently large. I think the 50 mm (2") height is correct, so next time I'll try a longer roll with 10 pieces each 50 mm long for a smaller diameter pastry. Next time, in our oven, I'll try slightly hotter temp and slightly darker colour. This recipe is a KEEPER!

209K subscribers - whoo hoo! I decided to make two batches of the recipe and shape 12 smaller pastries per batch. I made the laminated dough on Monday night and prepped the pastries last night. I used petite raisins for the filling as the snails would be much smaller. I rolled the dough in the opposite direction, longer horizontally vs vertically. Rolled the length to about 24” which allowed for 12- 2” slices. Allowed them to sit out for an hour while the oven was pre-heating, however, the second pan sat out for 1.5 hours and I think those baked just a bit better. Applied a “double” egg wash glaze before baking. Baked for 28-30 mins at 375F (no fan). Making 12 per batch results is a perfect size pastry. While sitting in the office all by myself, I just had to try one - OMG - the crackly crust, the soft interior with the vanilla custard and those raisins ❤ and that oh so delectably sweet orange icing. Such a treat with my morning coffee ☕ Many thanks to Charlie for this “ultimate” Pain Aux Raisin recipe. Will be making this again soon!! (#303 - repeat bake) Photos have been posted.

Those kind of look like croissants. You could use this pastry to make something similar. The layers won't be as good though. I'm yet to conquer the croissant. So far I've only failed when making them 😅

@@ChainBaker hi, I live in Italy and you are right, cornetto is the Italian word for croissant. They vary a lot though from the delicious flaky ones like in France to something more like a bun dough with very little butter in the layers - they can be delicious too though, just different.

I made them, got some parts wrong, my custard was too sloppy and not thick enough, but they went down very well with my family anyway. I thought you had too much cinnamon in the recipe so I cut it back a bit, but it possibly needed more than I used. Also butter is very expensive in Japan so I cut down the amount of butter by a third, but they came out OK.

If you take a piece of fishing-line and slide it underneath the pastry-roll, cross the ends over and gently pull. That way you cut the pastry or the dough without squashing it.

Hi @Chainbaker - I was going to jump into this recipe this weekend but was missing the oranges to soak. Anyway - it got me wondering.. the method you have here - grating the butter - seems to work really well, but I was thinking about trying your Pastéis de Nata way of layering up the pastry - I've seen a french chef do this method for Kouign-amann, rather than use cold or grated butter 'paint' on softened butter to make the layers. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on these 2 methods - it looks like the softened butter method could be quick but might make the pastry harder to handle - maybe?
@ChainBaker8 ай бұрын
That sounds like it should work. I guess the butter layer could not be as thick in that case because it would squeeze out when rolled for the second time. I might try it next time!

Definitely going to try this one. But I have a question: Covering all the dough with butter and then folding you end up with twice as much butter between the first fold and the middle than between the other side and the middle. Other laminated dough demos usually only butter 2/3 of the surface for the letter folds. Was there a reason for doing it your way?
