Croque Glace Recipe
Croque Glace
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for gluten-free try Bob's Red Mill flour used by Disney)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs, divided
- 1/2 cup salted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon room-temperature water 4 cups ice cream, any flavor
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, microwave milk on high 30 seconds. Stir. Microwave an additional 30 seconds. Repeat until milk stabilizes at 110°F. Stir in sugar and yeast and allow to sit 15 minutes.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour and salt. Add yeast mixture. Using the dough hook attachment, start mixing on low speed. Add 4 eggs, one at a time. Once most of the flour is incorporated, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn the speed up to high and knead about 10 minutes. Shape dough into a ball and transfer to a large greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm place 1 hour.
- Line an ungreased baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Lightly flour a flat surface and turn the dough out onto the flour . Flatten dough slightly with your hand until dough is about 1" thick. Cut dough like a pizza into eight equal triangles. Form each piece into a ball by tucking dough underneath and pulling the top taut. Place all eight balls on prepared baking sheet, cover with plastic, and allow to rise 30 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk remaining egg and water together. Brush generously over buns. Bake 25 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Cool slightly on a cooling rack, about 10 minutes.
- Slice buns in half. Carefully remove bread from the middle of the buns. Scoop a baseball-sized portion of ice cream into the center of 4 buns. Drizzle with chocolate sauce. Press buns together.
- Repeat to make 4 sandwiches
