["Place 300 grams flour plus the 80 grams of regular sugar in a mixing bowl. Set aside.", "Warm the water until it is lukewarm then add the yeast (do not add the yeast when the water is too hot or it will kill it and the recipe will be ruined) and whisk until it has melted.", "Add the eggs and 15 g of butter to the flour and sugar mixture in the mixing bowl, then pour in the water and yeast mixture, whisking to combine all the ingredients.", "Continue stirring until a sticky dough is formed.", "Then add the 200 grams of flour to the top, along with the 175 grams of butter pieces. Cover (without mixing anything) and allow to rest for 20 to 25 minutes.", "With your hands or dough hook, incorporate the butter and flour into the sticky dough until all the ingredients are well combined and the dough is no longer sticky (only add a little more flour if necessary).", "Place the dough onto a lightly floured surface or wax/parchment paper and press into a 12"" x 12"" square shape, then sprinkle with the Belgian Pearl sugar (*the original recipe lists 300 grams of sugar, but I found this to be much too much-add more or less to your liking).", "Now roll the dough from one end to the other, to form a large sausage shape.", "Cut into 100 gram pieces and form into ball shapes and set aside to rest for 15 minutes, covered with a slightly damp cloth.", "Refrigerate overnight.", "When ready to eat, heat the waffle iron.", "The goal is to cook the waffle without making it too dry and overcooked, but caramelizing the sugar pieces at the same time. Play with the settings until you reach a result that you like, however I recommend refrigerating the dough first.", "Place a ball of dough in the middle of the iron and cook it until it's golden brown and the sugar has caramelized. Don't worry if it doesn't look pretty.", "Carefully remove the waffle as the caramelized sugar will definitely give you a nasty burn", "Serve as is, with a dusting of powdered sugar or melted chocolate (traditional serving ideas). These can be eaten the next day; just warm them a little first, or even put them in the toaster."]
