All About Crunchy Praline (Tips & Tricks)
Why choose this praline rather than a smooth praline? Crunchy praline adds a textured dimension that smooth praline does not have. It is ideal if you want your customers to feel the grain of the nut, which enhances the artisanal and indulgent aspect of your pastries.
Should I stir the jar before use? Yes, it is perfectly natural for the nut oil to rise slightly to the surface over time. A simple stir with a spoon restores a perfectly homogeneous texture and evenly distributes the grains.
Can this praline be baked inside a dough? Absolutely. It withstands baking very well inside a cake or cookie. The almond and hazelnut grains will retain all their crunch after baking.
