Chocolate Croissants Recipe

Ingredients for Chocolate Croissants 

List: 

• 1 batch of classic croissant dough

• 1 bar of high-quality dark chocolate, broken into small pieces

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Croissant Dough: Follow the basic steps for making croissant dough through the lamination and initial proofing stages.

2. Add Chocolate: Cut the dough into triangles. Place a piece of chocolate at the wide end of each triangle. Roll the dough tightly around the chocolate toward the point to form the classic croissant shape.

3. Final Proofing: Arrange the croissants on a baking sheet, leaving space between them. Cover and let rise until puffy, about 45 minutes.

4. Baking: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the croissants with beaten egg. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Cooling and Serving: Allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack before serving to ensure the chocolate sets slightly.
