Have you ever thought about making chocolate puff pastry sfiha at home? This is a divine recipe and very easy to prepare. Let's learn how do prepare it!
Equipment
- Refrigerator
- Oven
- Microwave
Ingredients
- 7.05 oz of Puff Pastry (200 g)
Filling
- 6.3 oz of Chocolate chopped (180 g)
- 3.5 oz of Heavy Cream (100 g )
- 2.8 oz of M&Ms candies (80 g)
Instructions
- Take the puff pastry I taught in the last video and roll it out, about 15.75 inches (40 cm) long
- Try to roll it out more evenly
- Take a little less than half of the dough, for this recipe we'll use 7.05 oz (200 g) of dough. It's important to use the knife as if it were a guillotine and not pull it all, dragging the butter
- Roll out this piece of dough thinner, trying to make it into a square of about 11.81 inches (30 cm)
- Roll it up tightly like a roulade
- Cover it with plastic wrap and freeze for 10 minutes to cut more easily
- Cut the dough in half
- Then cut each side in half again and then in half again, forming 8 rolls. Look at that layer of dough and butter
- Dust the fingertips with flour and gently open the dough
- Do not press the edges, gently press the sides and bottom
- If you want, you can open it further by gently spreading your fingers inside
- Then fit them into a honeycomb-shaped mold; the one I used here is 2.36 inches (6 cm) in diameter and I think it's an excellent size
- Press to fit well, when finished, freeze for 15 minutes
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 446°F (230°C) for the same time
- With them chilled, place the upside-down molds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper
- Make some holes with a fork in the bottom of the molds
- Place another sheet of parchment paper on top
- And put a baking sheet to exert force and prevent the dough from rising too much
- Place some weight on this baking sheet or use a heavier baking sheet
- Bake in a preheated oven at 446°F (230°C) for 8 minutes
- After this time, reduce the temperature to 392°F (200°C) and bake for another 5 minutes
- Remove the baking sheet and the top parchment paper and see if it’s still too white. If yes, leave it for a few more minutes until it starts to brown
- Then fill with the chocolate ganache and decorate with M&Ms candies
Notes
Tips:
– Valid to: 5 days under refrigeration, but each passing day, the dough becomes less crispy.
