Our passion for crafting delectable treats has led us to master the art of creating irresistibly flaky pastry crusts.

-
The Science of Flakiness: Creating a flaky pastry crust is a delicate balance of ingredients, technique, and precision. Our chief chef, Steven has honed his skills to achieve the ideal texture that defines our pastries. We understand the importance of using the right amount of fat, typically high-quality french butter, which creates layers within the dough. As the pastry bakes, the fat melts, creating pockets of air that give rise to the characteristic flakiness.
-
The Perfect Dough: At Sun Baker, we take great care in preparing the dough for our flaky pastry crusts. Our recipe incorporates a precise combination of flour, butter, liquid, and a pinch of salt. The dough is meticulously mixed to achieve just the right consistency, ensuring a delicate balance between tenderness and flakiness. Resting the dough before rolling it out allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender crust.
-
Cold and Quick: To achieve optimum flakiness, our pastry dough is kept cold throughout the process. Chilled butter and ice-cold water are crucial to maintaining the integrity of the fat layers. The cold temperature prevents the fat from fully incorporating into the dough, creating distinct layers upon baking.
-
Layer upon Layer: Creating flakiness in our pastry crust is all about building layers. Rolling out the dough into thin sheets and then carefully folding and stacking them creates multiple layers that separate upon baking. Each layer contributes to the delicate, airy texture that melts in your mouth. Our skilled pastry chef takes pride in his precise layering techniques, ensuring consistent flakiness in every bite.
-
