Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper, and set aside.
  2. Combine the multigrains flour and all purpose flour in a small bowl, and set aside.
  3. Combine water, butter and salt in a medium saucepan, and bring to rolling boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and add the flours at once. Stir vigorously until well combined. Put back on the heat and cook further, stirring constantly, until the dough forms a rough ball, about 15 to 30 seconds.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and transfer the content to a mixing bowl. Let the mixture cool down for 5 to 10 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 140°F (60°C). You can speed the process along by stirring or gently beating the pastry for a minute or so. Beat in the eggs one at a time. The first egg should be fully incorporated before the second is added. The mixture will seems slippery at first, but will smooth out as more eggs are added. Beat for 2 minutes after adding the last egg.
  5. Spoon the dough into the pan using heaped tablespoons or use a cookie scoop onto the prepared baking sheet. The mounds of dough will be approximately golf-ball sized. Leave a couple of inches between the balls of dough, as they'll expand quite a bit in the oven.
  6. Bake the puffs for 8 minutes at 425°F (220°C). Avoid opening the oven door while baking. After 8 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C), and cook for an additional 20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown. Remove the puffs from the oven and, using a sharp paring knife, make a small slice near the top of each, to let the steam out. Put the puffs back into the oven. Turn off the oven, prop the oven door open slightly, and let the puffs cool inside for 30 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  7. To make cream puffs, fill each puff with pastry cream and top with chocolate ganache. For profiteroles, fill each puff with ice cream and top with chocolate ganache or sauce. To make eclairs, pipe the unbaked dough into strips that are 4 inches (10 cm) long onto parchment paper. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat and bake for 15 more minutes. Cool and fill as directed.
