Kouign-amann from Dessert Person: Recipes and Guidance for Baking with Confidence (page 257) by Claire Saffitz

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I made this for a buddy who was visiting and this is her favorite pastry. I was daunted by it being at the very peak of the pain index in the book but the directions are immaculate. I should’ve left mine in the oven a little longer but that’s a problem with the oven. For a first-timer, I was thrilled and my friend LOVED them. We ate them for breakfast every day of her visit.
