Recipe: Chocolate Croissants

Servings: 4-6


Ingredients:

  • Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets: 1 pack (6 sheets)
  • Chocolate Block: 1, cut into small pieces
  • Nutella: For optional variation
  • Egg: 1, for egg wash


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pastry:
    • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
    • Take 1 pack of frozen puff pastry and thaw according to the package instructions.
    • Divide each sheet into 2 rectangles, giving you a total of 12 rectangles.
  2. Assemble the Croissants:
    • For the chocolate version (Pain au Chocolat): Place small pieces of chocolate at both ends of each rectangle. Roll the pastry towards the center and seal the ends.
    • For the Nutella version: Cut the pastry into a croissant shape by slicing the middle and diagonally. Spread Nutella on top, then roll into croissants.
  3. Egg Wash & Bake:
    • Beat the egg and brush it over each croissant.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Tips for Perfect Chocolate Croissants:

  • For a crispier texture: Bake your croissants directly on the oven rack.
