Critical Success Points

  • Mix until a homogeneous dough is obtained (step 2).
  • Bain‑marie cooking for 10 minutes without overheating (step 3).
  • Shape the rocks before the dough hardens completely (step 5).
  • Bake just long enough to golden without burning (step 6).

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the bain‑marie with care: the steam is very hot.
  • Use gloves or a towel to remove the bowl from the bain‑marie to avoid burns.
  • Be careful of the oven heat (180°C).
