Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 1/4 cups cold whole milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 16 chocolate batons or 8 oz high-quality semi-sweet chocolate

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, salt, and yeast in a stand mixer. Gradually add cold milk and knead until soft but slightly tacky. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  2. Create the butter layer by mixing softened butter with flour until smooth. Shape into a rectangle and chill for another 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the chilled dough into a larger rectangle, encase the butter layer within it, and seal tightly.
  4. Roll into a long rectangle, fold lengthwise into thirds, and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Repeat this folding process two more times.
  5. Chill overnight before rolling out into smaller rectangles to shape croissants around chocolate batons.
  6. Proof croissants at room temperature for an hour before baking at 400°F for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
