Ingredients

Croissant Dough

  • 250 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 25 g granulated sugar
  • 7 g instant yeast
  • 150 ml warm milk
  • 25 g unsalted butter melted
  • 200 g cold unsalted butter (for laminating)

Chocolate Filling

  • 100 g dark chocolate (semi-sweet or bittersweet), chopped
  • 50 g milk chocolate chopped
  • 30 g unsalted butter

Assembly

  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)
  • 30 g powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • 30 g chopped nuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

For the Croissant Dough:

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
  • In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  • Pour the yeast mixture and melted butter into the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
  • Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Shape it into a rectangle, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

For the Chocolate Filling:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler).
  • Let the chocolate mixture cool to room temperature.

Assembly:

  • Take the chilled dough out of the refrigerator and roll it into a rectangle on a floured surface. It should be about 1/4-inch thick.
  • Cut the dough into triangles. Each triangle should be wide enough to accommodate a piece of chocolate.
  • Place a piece of chocolate filling at the base of each triangle and roll it up, tucking in the sides to seal the chocolate inside.
  • Place the filled croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them.
  • Brush the croissants with beaten egg for a shiny finish.
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
  • Bake the croissants in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and puffed up.
  • Remove the croissants from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack.
  • Dust the warm croissants with powdered sugar and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired.
    Enjoy your delicious homemade chocolate-filled croissants!
