@foodporn: Making the dough for ‘pastel de Tentúgal’ 🤯🔥 Making the dough for ‘pastel de Tentúgal’ requires water, flour and an entire room. A crispy log of pure sweetness filled with ‘doce de ovos’ (a mixture of egg yolks and sugar), originating from the city of Tentúgal (Portugal). To start, the finest flour-so fine it resembles talcum powder - and water are kneaded together. The baker then performs a three-step stretching dance that generates a giant air bubble in the dough that wobbles and wobbles. It’s a dough dance influenced by humidity, temperature, and time of year. Impressively, this technique has remained unchanged for almost 500 years! Once the dough dries and becomes almost transparent, the bakers shred and layer thin sheets to waterproof the filling. They then spoon in the sweet eggy filling and deftly roll it into a parcel. Finally, they glaze it with melted butter using a feather. The entire process was filmed by Miguel Andrade (@Miguel CR Andrade) at Pastelaria O Afonso in Tentúgal. #fyp #foryou #portugal #portuguese #cooking
