👩‍🍳 Step-by-step preparation in Thermomix

1️⃣ Prepare the herb butter

Place the onion, garlic cloves and parsley, thyme and basil leaves in the glass.

Chop 10 seconds / Speed 5.

Scrape down the remains with the spatula. Add the butter, mustard, paprika, olive oil, pepper and salt.

Mix 20 seconds / Speed 3.

Pour the mixture into a container and clean the glass well.

2️⃣ Prepare the dough

In the clean glass, add the water, fresh yeast and sugar.

Program 3 minutes / 37°C / Speed 2.

Add the flour, salt and olive oil.

Knead for 3 minutes / Knead function.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, knead it briefly by hand, and roll it out into a large rectangle (about the size of a baking sheet).

3️⃣ Fill and fold

Spread the entire surface of the dough with the herb butter.

Cut the dough into strips about 12 cm wide.

Fold each strip in an accordion shape (zigzag folding) and place them standing, one next to the other, inside a rectangular mold (approx. 30 cm) previously lined with baking paper.

4️⃣ Leavened

Cover the mold and let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes, until it increases slightly in volume.

5️⃣ Baked

Preheat the oven to 200°C (up and down heat).

Brush the surface with the cream.

Bake 25-30 minutes until golden and crispy.

Carefully remove from the mold and allow to cool slightly before serving.

✨ Tips and variations

You can add grated cheese between the folds for an even tastier version.
If you prefer it more intense, add a little extra garlic powder.
For a sweet version, eliminate salt and spices and fill with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon or even chocolate chips.
It can be reheated for a few minutes in the oven before serving.
