How to make traditional liege waffles

These yeast based Belgium liege waffles are AMAZING, seriously if you haven't tried them yet your missing out - more dessert than breakfast - but I'll eat them for every meal. With chunks of sugar that crystallizes as it cooks, they are amazing plain or with toppings for an even sweeter treat.

the key to get the most authentic flavor from this thick dough is to not skip any of the rise times - it makes a huge difference.

TRADITIONAL LIEGE WAFFLE RECIPE
printable version ashleemarie.com/traditional-liege-waffle-recipe/
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
3/4 C warm whole milk (110-115 degrees)
2 large eggs room temperature, lightly beaten
1 1/2 C Bread flour (first mix)
2 1/2 C Bread flour (second mix)
3 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 C softened butter
2 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp vanilla
1 1/2 C belgian pearl sugar
Place yeast, sugar and milk into your mixer and proof yeast 5-10 mins
Add the egg and 1 1/2 C of the flour, mix until it's smooth
Sprinkle remaining 2 1/2 C flour over the mixture, to keep the dough from getting crusty. cover the bowl and let rise 90 mins
Add brown sugar and salt and blend on low to medium-low speed. While mixing add the honey and vanilla.
add butter 2 Tbsp at a time.
Mix 4 minutes at medium-low speed, let the dough rest for 1 minute and then continue to mix for 2 minutes, then rest, repeat until the dough balls up on the hook.
Cover and let rise for 4 hours.
Then knock the dough down, I just use my dough hook to quickly get the dough down.
wrap the dough in plastic wrap, 2-3 times around
place in a bowl or pan and weigh it down a bit and refrigerate overnight.
The next day, place the cold dough (it will be quite firm) on a slightly floured surface and knead in ALL the Belgian sugar (a little bit at a time).
Once mixed, divide the dough into 13 pieces of equal size.
squeeze each chunk into an ball and let it rise for 90 minutes.
Cook in a waffle iron for about 4 mins at 360 degrees (see note for regular waffle iron)
Give each waffle a few minutes to cool slightly before eating. that sugar melted on the outside is HOT!!!! I serve mine with fresh whipped cream and strawberries, but they are also good stuffed with dark chocolate, or served with with bananas, blue berries, nutella, cookie butter, ice cream, or plain with some powdered sugar!

NOTE on regular home waffle irons: heat it up, put the dough in for 1 min then unplug the machine for 3 mins. Depending on how hot your machine gets you might have to play with the time a bit
