The recipe, step by step

  1. 01

    Lievito Madre

    Refresh the Madre dough with the flour and water at 35 °C and use it for the main dough.

  2. 02

    Croissant dough

    To make a quick sponge, mix the T45 flour (A), the water (1) at 25 °C and the dry yeast, at least 20 minutes before the final mix.

    Then, mix all ingredients, with the water at a base temperature of 44 °C, into a dough and leave to ferment overnight at a refrigerated temperature of 2-3℃.

    Fold the dough and butter sheet into 1 x 3 and 1 x 4, then chill in a freezer at -7℃ for about 30 minutes.

    Roll out and fold to the final thickness.

    Let it rest at 27℃ for 2-3 hours.

  3. 03

    Black charcoal dough

    When the croissant dough reaches 80% gluten development, remove a portion of dough.

    Mix activated charcoal powder and water and add to dough.

    Mix well using a mixer.

  4. 04

    Cheesecake

    Use a beater to gently beat the cream cheese.

    Mix together the pomade-like butter, lemon zest, and dry ingredients, then add the egg whites in portions and mix.

  5. 05

    Blueberry confit

    Heat the blueberry IQF and puree to 40℃.

    Add the pre-mixed sugar and pectin and bring to a boil. Add the lemon juice.

  6. 06

    Glaze

    Mix all the ingredients.

  7. 07

    Assembly and finishing touches

    Roll out the croissant dough to a final thickness of 2 mm. Cut the dough to 30cm × 3.5cm, about 70 g, bottom cut 75mm × 1mm.

    Fill 90 g of cheesecake into the cut dough and shape. Ferment for 1.5 hours at 26℃ and 80% humidity. Bake at 170℃ for 12 minutes.

    After completely cooled, pipe 25 g of blueberry confit over the cheesecake.

    Mix fresh blueberries in the glaze, then place them generously on top of the Danish and top with lemon confit.
