Preparing savory waffles

• Preparing the dough

  Using a mixer, start by combining the water, butter, yeast and waffle mix. Stir until the dough is perfectly homogeneous. (1 min slow speed + 6 min fast speed)
  At the start of preparation, blend only the waffle mix and the salt, to avoid the yeast coming into direct contact with the salt. This prevents the salt from neutralizing the yeast’s fermentation properties.

• Divide and form dough pieces

  Next, divide the batter into portions of around 100 grams each.
  If you’re using our waffle iron dedicated to Filled waffles ref. 52117, this is the recommended weight.

• Essential ferment phase

  Leave the dough balls to rise until they double in size.
  – Room temperature: +- 90min
  – Fermentation chamber : +- 60 min. at 29°C, 85% relative humidity.

• Preparing the savory filling

  Take advantage of the dough’s resting time to prepare your savory filling. Whether you opt for a delicious ham and cheese combination, vegetables, smoked salmon or other ingredients, the choice is yours.

• Shaping waffles

  After the fermentation phase, use a rolling pin to flatten each dough to the size of about 2 waffles.

• Adding the filling

  Place the salted mixture (about 100 grams) on one half of the waffle.

• Hermetic seal

  To keep your waffles perfectly sealed, moisten the edges with egg yolks, fold over the pastry case, then seal the edges by pressing all the way round.

Baking
