Steps

  • Warm the milk and 90ml of water in a saucepan until lukewarm.
  • Place flour, yeast, sugar, eggs, and salt in a mixer, keeping yeast away from salt.
  • Add 3/4 of the liquid and mix on low speed until combined.
  • Increase speed and mix for seven minutes until the dough is slightly sticky.
  • Spread dough onto a parchment-lied tray and chill in the freezer.
  • Flatten the butter between parchment into a 33x19cm rectangle and freeze.
  • Roll dough to 50x20cm and place butter on the lower two-thirds.
  • Fold dough in thirds to encase butter and press edges to seal.
  • Rotate dough 90 degrees, roll to 50x20cm, fold again, and freeze for 15 minutes.
  • Repeat the rolling and folding process twice more with 15-minute freezer rests.
  • Roll half the pastry into a 42x20cm rectangle on a floured surface.
  • Place a row of white chocolate across the dough near the edge and fold over.
  • Mix cream cheese and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Pipe cheese mixture and place raspberries over the encased chocolate.
  • Roll the dough to encase filling, trim, and cut into six 7cm pieces.
  • Repeat for the second half of dough and prove for 40 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C without the fan setting.
  • Brush with egg wash and bake for 25 minutes until golden.
