Cooking
Prepare the dough. Mix the softened butter with 200 g flour. Shape of a quadrangle and set in the fridge for 1 hour.
Mix the sifted flour (400 g), vinegar, water and egg yolk. Knead the dough until it starts to lag behind the walls of the bowl.
Roll the dough into an oblong formation. In the middle put the prepared mass of butter and flour.
Wrap the dough mass from two sides, slightly squeezing and gently rolled in one direction (away from you) to a thickness of 1 cm Edges are folded to the middle, then once more in half (the seam should be folded in four), cover with a towel and put in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Then folded several times dough is rolled in the opposite direction, again put four times, cover again and put in the refrigerator. Repeat three more times. After proceed to prepare the cakes. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Divide the dough into several parts. I cooked two small Napoleonchikom, so I got 8 pieces.
Take one part, the rest put into the fridge. Roll out. I cut out circles of dough, to make cakes rectangular shape.
Prepare a baking tray with baking paper. Lay out the cakes, prick with fork and put to bake for 15 minutes. Cakes should rise and brown. Prepare the orange curd. His recipe you will find on my page. Take the foil or plastic wrap. Put the first Korzh, lubricated and cooled Kurd, and so on until the end. Semi-wrap the cake and put in refrigerator overnight for impregnation.
Prepare the ganache. Melt the chocolate in a water bath or in a microwave oven. Bring to the boil 200 ml of cream. Immediately remove from heat. Pour 1/3 of cream into the melted chocolate, stir with a whisk. Then another third and the remainder of hot cream. Stir until smooth. Pour in cold 100 ml of cream. Mix well, close the bowl with cling film and put in the fridge (allowing to cool completely) for an hour or so on all night. After, whisk on medium speed until fluffy. Don't overdo it. Get soaked cakes and grease with the ganache. Decorate as desired. That's all) a Pleasant tea to you!
I almost forgot) Photo sugar! My husband bought a really lumpy, but no worries, I'm not looking for easy ways)
