Ingredients:
2½ cups flour
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup warm milk
1 egg
3 tablespoons softened butter
100 grams cold butter for layering
100 grams chopped chocolate or chocolate pieces
1 beaten egg for brushing
Method:
1. Mix the flour, yeast, sugar and salt. Add the milk, egg and softened butter, then knead until a smooth dough forms.
2. Cover the dough and let it rest for one hour, or until it doubles in size.
3. Roll the dough into a rectangle, place the cold butter in the centre and fold the dough over it.
4. Roll out and fold the dough several times to create flaky layers, refrigerating it between each stage.
5. Cut the dough into rectangles, place one or two pieces of chocolate on each, and roll them up tightly.
6. Arrange the croissants on a baking tray and leave them to rest until they rise and puff up.
7. Brush the tops with beaten egg, then bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
8. Serve the chocolate croissants warm with coffee or milk.
