Steps
|
1
|
Place the flour, water, salt and melted butter in the pan of your Panasonic breadmaker. |
|
2
|
Add the cold butter in cubes and run the machine again for 4 minutes. |
|
3
|
Transfer the dough to a floured surface. Roll it out with a rolling pin, maintaining a thickness of about 1 cm and without overworking the dough. Make a rectangle and then fold twice to make 3 layers. |
|
4
|
Roll out into a rectangle and fold again, this time like a book (fold both short sides towards the centre of the rectangle, and then fold the rectangle on itself to make 4 layers). Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator. |
|
5
|
Take the dough and make two more book folds. Wrap again in plastic and leave it to rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. |
|
6
|
Once the time indicated has passed, take the dough and roll it out with a rolling pin on a rectangle of baking paper. Cut the dough into two equal rectangular parts. |
|
7
|
Now spread the cream cheese on one of the rectangles, forming a Christmas tree shape. Add the slices of smoked salmon and place the other rectangle of puff pastry on top. |
|
8
|
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough, following the shape of the Christmas tree, and remove the excess dough. |
|
9
|
Continue in this way until the tree is completed, and once the branches are finished twist them together. |
|
10
|
Transfer the puff pastry tree to a baking tray, brush the surface with the beaten egg yolk and milk and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 35 minutes. |
