Le Gibassier
- Preferment:
- 145g bread flour
- 75g milk
- 25g egg
- .25g instant yeast
- Formula:
- 175g egg
- 88g olive oil
- 33g orange flower water
- 50g water
- 536g bread flour
- 134g sugar
- 10g salt
- 26g instant yeast
- 100g butter, softened
- 8g anise seed
- 97g candied orange peel
- Night before:
- Combine preferment ingreds, cover and ferment at room temp overnight. Take butter out to soften.
- Next morning:
- Pour liquids, then preferment into mixer. Add dry ingreds through yeast. Incorporate all slowly for about 4 minutes, mix for 2 more minutes more briskly, then slowly add softened butter.
- When a nice dough window can be formed, add the dried peel and anise seed. Place rounded dough into oiled bowl, cover and ferment for 1.5-2 hours.
- Scale into 100g increments; bench rest for 20 minutes.
- Shape into roughly candy corn shapes and roll tightly from wider end, as for croissants. Curl ends up to resemble a fleur-de-lis and slash decoratively. Place on parchment-lined pan and proof for approx 1.5 hours. Bake at 400* until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Brush with melted butter and toss in granulated sugar. Let cool and consume with glee!
