Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 cup cold whole milk
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup chocolate batons or semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon milk (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Gradually mix in cold milk until a rough dough forms. Knead until smooth, shape into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Create Butter Layers: Flatten softened butter between parchment paper into a rectangle; chill until firm.
- Layering Technique: Roll out chilled dough and enclose the butter layer within it. Fold and roll to create layers; repeat this process two more times.
- Shape Croissants: Roll out the final dough, cut triangles, place chocolate batons at the base, and roll tightly.
- Final Proofing: Arrange on a baking sheet to rise until doubled in size (about 45 minutes).
- Bake: Brush with egg wash and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
