Ham and Tomato Cristal Bread

Always exploring new possibilities and elevating culinary creativity, the Disfrutar Restaurant team presents the third recipe in which they integrate the Procrunx. Procrunx, a ingredient that transforms textures and elevates gastronomic possibilities. On this occasion, the Ham and Tomato Crystal Bread becomes a delicate gastronomic jewel, an ultra-light and volatile puff pastry with an exceptional crunchy texture.

What is Procrunx?

The Procrunx is an ingredient designed to bring a superior level of crunchiness and structure to culinary preparations. Its ability to integrate into emulsions and doughs allows the creation of unique textures, elevating traditional dishes to new sensory dimensions. In this recipe, its use in the Iberian ham fat emulsion results in a millefeuille with an airy structure and incomparable delicacy.

Ovulates: the key to lightness

Another essential component in the recipe is ovulato, a translucent and extremely fine ingredient, which allows the creation of delicate structures without adding weight or interfering with the flavor. Thanks to its ability to hydrate and transform in the oven, ovulato gives shape to a crispy, almost ethereal puff pastry with a texture reminiscent of the famous “glass bread”.

Magic in action

With a carefully rested emulsion and precisely crafted layers of ovulato, the end result is a delicate, flavorful and surprising bite. From the translucent structure of the puff pastry to the deep flavor of the Iberian ham and the freshness of the tomato, the Pan de Cristal is the ultimate proof of how the Procrunx and ovulato can transform gastronomy.

This is the third installment of the Disfrutar con Procrunx team’s recipe series , and yet another example of how creativity and innovation can redefine the limits of haute cuisine.
