Le Waf The Artisan Waffle Food

LE WAF, THE ARTISAN WAFFLE

Steps:

• Dilute the yeast in a bowl with the milk. Stir in half of the flour and the eggs. Let rest for 20 minutes.
• Add the remaining flour and the butter, white sugar and salt. Using a stand mixer, food processor or by hand, knead the dough until it is homogeneous and smooth. Add the pearl sugar and mix again until it is integrated into the dough.
• Divide the dough into about 12 balls, each weighing 120 grams (for large waffles) or about 19 balls, weighing 80 grams each (for medium-sized waffles). Place on a floured surface and roll the dough. Cover with a towel and let rest for 40 minutes.
• Preheat a heavy-duty cast-iron waffle maker to 180 degrees C (356 degrees F).
• Cook the dough until golden brown, about 3 minutes (cooking time may vary depending on your waffle iron).
• Serve plain or with toppings, such as gelato, fresh fruit and whipped cream. The waffles can be stored in a dry, airtight container.
