How to make Liège waffles dough

Start by rehydrating the dry baker's yeast in the milk which you can slightly warm and
let it rest for 5 minutes. (the effect of the heat will activate the yeast and it will grow faster, but be careful not to heat too much or it will kill the yeast).
Pour the dry ingredients, flour, salt and powdered sugar into the bowl of your stand mixer with the hook.
Then incorporate the milk containing the yeast and mix at medium speed for 5 minutes.
Finish by adding the diced butter and continue to knead for a few minutes until the dough is homogeneous and smooth.
Cover with a tea towel and leave to grow for 1 hour at room temperature.
After the sprouting add the Belgian pearl sugar and mix again for a few moments.

Baking the waffles

How to bake the waffles

For baking, I use an electric Belgian waffle maker, a rather simple model that I also use to make waffles, club sandwiches, toasts ...
Place a ball of dough in the center of each cavity of the waffle iron, close it and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until they are golden brown.
Let your waffles cool down and enjoy immediately, with powdered sugar or chocolate icing 😉

How to store the waffles

Liège waffles can be kept at room temperature for 3 to 5 days, you can also place them in the freezer and keep them for up to 3 months.
