-Food thermometer
-Ruler
-Sharpie/permanent marker
-Rolling pin
-Surface for rolling out dough
-Baking sheets
-Shallow large pan
-Pastry brush

-Mixing bowl (or just use the bowl of the stand mixer)
-Offset spatula, or spoon to spread butter
Ingredients (based on the recipe from Saveur)
-625g 2% milk. make sure it’s 2%, fat balance is important!
- 975g flour. Bread flour is best, but all purpose will work, it’s a pandemic, don’t make excessive
trips to the grocery store.
-10g active dry yeast. NOT instant
- 70g sugar
-22g fine sea salt
-12g melted butter
-585 good unsalted room temp/soft butter. Look for Kerry gold, Vermont creamery cultured
butter, or any European style, high fat butter, and make sure it’s soft! take it out of the fridge now.
-3 egg yolks
-2tbsp heavy cream (again, not worth buying if not around, milk is fine too)
