If the recipe for the croissant is indeed French, that for the New York Roll arrives straight from the United States and is already a hit in France. The Zest pastry decided to innovate and offer novelty in the midst of all the exclusively homemade pastries.
Halfway between the croissant and the donut, the circular croissant-shaped pastry is the trend of the moment and is particularly popular with younger generations because of its promotion by influencers on applications such as Tik Tok or Instagram. . Called “ The Supreme on the other side of the Atlantic, its shape and origin have earned it the reputation of the ” New York Roll on his arrival in France.
Beware of imitations!
The recipe is generous, the croissant dough is filled with pastry cream and then partly covered with icing. Maison Zeste currently offers them taste vanilla, chocolate or caramel.
Arielle Cros, manager of the establishment explains that the recipe is not easy and that it requires time and a lot of technique to be able to achieve the “striated” of the dough. For this, she completed an internship with Sebastien Lagruchocolatine world champion, to learn how to make “Tout-choco” using the same technique, inspired by pain au chocolat.
« It’s not enough to take croissant dough, roll it up and cut pieces out of it.explains the owner, aesthetically it has nothing to do! This technique can be learned, if I hadn’t been on an internship I wouldn’t be able to do adds this lover of a job well done.
So beware of imitations and be patient! For a first, the pastry chef had made about twenty New York Rolls which were sold in the morning! Zeste will initially offer New York Rolls every Saturday, we will have to wait until Saturday March 25 to savor the next batch, we ate the last!
