How it's done

Puff pastry dough

In a bowl, mix the flour with all the other ingredients up to and including the yeast. Add the butter and rub together using your hands to form an even, crumbly mixture, then create a well in the middle. Pour the milk and egg into the well, mix and knead quickly to form a smooth dough. Shape the dough into a rectangle, cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs.

To layer

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approx. 1 cm thick. Cover one half of the rectangle evenly with butter, leaving a border of approx. 1 cm. Fold the other half over the top, press the edges down firmly, cover and chill for approx. 30 mins. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough once again into a rectangle approx. 1 cm thick. Fold the short sides into the middle, then fold one half over the other to create 4 layers. Cover the dough and chill for approx. 1 hr., repeat the process, cover and chill again for approx. 1 hr.

To shape

Place the wild garlic and all the other ingredients up to and including the salt in a measuring cup, puree. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out into a rectangle (approx. 25 x 60 cm). Spread the wild garlic mixture over the entire sheet of pastry. Roll up the pastry from the longest edge, cut into approx. 12 pieces (each approx. 5 cm thick). Press down gently in the centre of each using the handle of a wooden spoon. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking paper. Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 30 mins. Brush with a little water, sprinkle with fleur de sel.

To bake

Approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 200 °C. Remove from the oven, leave to cool on a rack.
