Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Croissant:

 

• 1 tablespoon of yeast
• ½ cup of warm liquid milk
• ⅓ cup of sugar
• 1½ cups of butter (for the dough and layering)
• 3 tablespoons of melted butter
• 1 tablespoon of powdered milk
• 1 tablespoon of salt
• 4 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
• 18 small chocolate bars (or chocolate chips)

Steps to Prepare Chocolate Chip Croissant:

1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in ½ cup of warm water and let it sit for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, combine the dissolved yeast with warm milk, sugar, melted butter, powdered milk, flour, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined and form a dough.
• Shape the dough into a thick square, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least two hours.

2. Prepare the Butter Layer:

• Place the remaining butter between two pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin to flatten it into a thick square.
• Remove the dough from the fridge and combine the butter square with the dough square by layering them together.
• Roll out the dough into a rectangle, folding it over itself in thirds like a letter, then return it to the fridge for at least another 60 minutes.

3. Shape the Croissants:

• After chilling, roll out the dough and cut it into 18 triangles.
• Place a small chocolate bar or chocolate chips at the base of each triangle and roll the dough up from the base to the tip to form the croissant shape.

4. Bake the Croissants:

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the croissants on the tray.
• Brush each croissant with the egg wash (beaten egg mixed with water) to give it a golden finish.
• Let the croissants rise in a warm place for at least 3 hours.

5. Bake in the Oven:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Once heated, place the baking tray in the oven and bake the croissants for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
