Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups 310g all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup 225g unsalted butter (cold)
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
  • ¾ cup 180ml warm milk
  • 10 sticks of dark chocolate or chocolate bars cut into strips
  • 1 egg for egg wash

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: Mix warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it activate for 5 minutes. Combine with flour and salt to form a dough. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Laminate the Dough: Roll out the dough, layer with cold butter, and fold. Repeat the rolling and folding process 3-4 times, chilling between folds.
  • Shape the Croissants: Roll out the dough, cut it into rectangles, and place chocolate strips on one end. Roll tightly to seal.
  • Proof: Place the croissants on a baking sheet, cover, and let rise for 2 hours or until puffy.
  • Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush croissants with egg wash and bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the croissants cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
