2nd dough piece

  • 30 minutes before the first dough is ready, add water to gelatinise the corn flour and set aside to cool.
  • Add the first dough piece into the bowl of a spiral mixer together with the flour and the first amount of the egg yolks, and knead for 17 minutes until the gluten network has developed.
  • Once the dough is elastic, add the sugar, honey and powdered milk.
  • Let it run for 5 minutes, then drizzle over the cream before incorporating the salt and lastly the butter at 20°C.
  • Once the dough is formed, pour in the pre-mixed fruit and chocolate chips and place in a suitable container.
  • Keep warm for 30 minutes at 32°C.
  • Divide the dough and place on a wooden or other base for 10-15 minutes at room temperature, then shape into balls and place in paper moulds.
  • Allow to rise at 28°C, at a relative humidity of 75%, for 5 to 6 hours.
  • When ready to bake, refrigerate for 15 minutes, brush the surface of the Pan Meino with egg white and use the candi sugar to stick on a disc of crunchy topping, then sprinkle with icing sugar.
