Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 50 grams Whey protein powder
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 120 milliliters Warm milk
• 40 grams Unsalted butter, softened
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 100 grams Unsalted butter, for lamination
• 1 Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon milk)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whey protein powder, instant yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

Add the salt to one side of the bowl and the yeast to the other. Mix the dry ingredients until well combined.

Step 3

Warm the milk slightly and add it to the flour mixture along with the softened butter, egg yolk, and vanilla extract.

Step 4

Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Prepare the butter lamination: Place the 100 grams of unsalted butter between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it into a rectangle about 10x15 cm (4x6 inches). Chill in the refrigerator until firm but pliable.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle double the size of your butter sheet.

Step 8

Place the chilled butter on one half of the dough and fold the other half over it, sealing the edges.

Step 9

Roll the dough out into a large rectangle, then fold it into thirds like a letter. Chill for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times, chilling the dough for 30 minutes between each turn.

Step 11

After the final fold and chill, roll the dough into a rectangle about 5 mm (1/4 inch) thick.

Step 12

Cut the dough into long triangles and roll each triangle from the wide end to the point to form the classic cornetto shape.

Step 13

Place the shaped cornettos on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, cover, and let them rise for another 45 minutes.

Step 14

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 15

Brush each cornetto with egg wash for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed.

Step 16

Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your high protein cornettos warm or at room temperature.
