CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS



Chef John's Chocolate Croissants image

Making your own chocolate croissants takes a while, but for these crispy-on-the-outside, tender-on-the-inside pastries, it's time well spent. This recipe was adapted from one by Bruno Albouze, from The Real Deal (which he is). This is actually the quick version in that we're not leaving the dough to rest overnight before laminating with the butter.

Time 5h55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup warm water (100 degrees F or 38 degrees C)
½ (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
1 ¾ cups unbleached bread flour
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
1 stick unsalted European-style butter
1 cup chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1 pinch coarse sea salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. Sprinkle with yeast. Let yeast dissolve for 10 minutes. Add sugar and bread flour. Sprinkle with salt; add 3 tablespoons butter. Attach the bowl to the stand mixer. Mix dough with the dough hook just until butter is completely kneaded in and the dough forms a ball and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl, 3 or 4 minutes.
  • Transfer dough to a work surface and form into a semi-smooth ball. Place dough back in the mixer bowl; cover. Let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 2 hours.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Push and press dough to deflate it, and form it into a rectangle. Fold into thirds by lifting one end over the middle third, and folding the other side onto the middle. Wrap in plastic wrap. Place on a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. Refrigerate until chilled through, about 1 hour.
  • Cut 1 stick of butter in 1/2 lengthwise and place halves slightly apart from each other on a length of parchment paper long enough to fold over the butter. Fold the parchment paper over the butter. Press butter down. Roll out with a rolling pin to a square about 8x8 inches. Refrigerate until a little chilled and just barely flexible, 10 or 15 minutes.
  • Roll dough out into a rectangle slightly wider than the butter slab and just over twice as long. Place butter on one half of the dough leaving about 1 inch margin from the edge of the dough. Fold the other half of the dough over the butter. Dust work surface and dough with flour as needed.
  • Press rolling pin down on dough to create ridges. Then roll out the ridges. Repeat this process. Keep pressing and rolling until dough is about the same size rectangle as you had before you folded it in half, dusting with just a bit of flour as necessary.
  • Starting from the short side, fold one-third of dough over middle third. Then fold the other end over to form a small rectangle. Flatten out just slightly with rolling pin. Transfer to the silicone-lined baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer dough back to work surface and repeat pressing and rolling technique until dough is the size of the previous larger rectangle. Fold into thirds again, starting from the short side. Press and roll slightly. Transfer back to lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate about 15 minutes.
  • Roll back out to a large rectangle. This time, fold dough in half. Then press and roll out into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle, using as little flour as needed to keep dough from sticking.
  • Dust dough with flour and roll out to a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Cut dough lengthwise into 6 pieces using a pastry wheel.
  • Pull and stretch out 1 of the dough pieces until ends are slightly tapered. Line 1 to 2 tablespoon of chocolate 1 inch parallel to the bottom edge and an equal amount of chocolate 1 more inch ahead. Roll dough up over the chocolate toward the top short edge to form a croissant with the seam at the bottom. Repeat with the remaining 5 dough pieces.
  • Place shaped croissants on baking sheets lined with silicone mats. Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon water to make the egg wash. Brush croissants with a large portion of the egg wash. Place in a warm area to allow them to rise, 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Brush croissants gently but thoroughly again with egg wash. Sprinkle sea salt on top.
  • Bake in preheated oven until beautifully browned, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack. Cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS



Chocolate Croissants image

From time to time, we have stuffed French toast made from rich buttery brioche. One Father's Day when I wanted to make it for my husband, the store was out of brioche, so I tried croissants instead. They turned out to be even simpler to use.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS (PAIN AU CHOCOLATE) RECIPE BY TASTY



Homemade Chocolate Croissants (Pain Au Chocolate) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, instant dry yeast, unsalted butter, cold unsalted butter, egg, sweetened chocolate bar

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups flour
½ cup water
½ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 packet instant dry yeast
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices
1 egg, beaten
2 bars sweetened chocolate bar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and butter.
  • Once the dough starts to clump, turn it out onto a clean counter.
  • Lightly knead the dough and form it into a ball, making sure not to over-knead it.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Slice the cold butter in thirds and place it onto a sheet of parchment paper..
  • Place another piece of parchment on top of the butter, and beat it with a rolling pin.
  • Keeping the parchment paper on the butter, use a rolling pin to roll the butter into a 7-inch (18 cm) square, ½-inch (1 cm) thick. If necessary, use a knife to trim the edges and place the trimmings back on top of the butter and continue to roll into a square.
  • Transfer the butter layer to the refrigerator.
  • To roll out the dough, lightly flour the counter. Place the dough on the counter, and push the rolling pin once vertically into the dough and once horizontally to form four quadrants.
  • Roll out each corner and form a 10-inch (25 cm) square.
  • Place the butter layer on top of the dough and fold the sides of the dough over the butter, enclosing it completely.
  • Roll the dough with a rolling pin to seal the seams, making sure to lengthen the dough, rather than widening it.
  • Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's 8x24 inches (20x61 cm).
  • Fold the top half down to the middle, and brush off any excess flour.
  • Fold the bottom half over the top and turn the dough clockwise to the left. This completes the first turn.
  • Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Roll out the dough again two more times, completing three turns in total and refrigerating for 1 hour in between each turn. If at anytime the dough or butter begins to soften, stop and transfer back to the fridge.
  • After the final turn, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • To form the croissants, cut the dough in half. Place one half in the refrigerator.
  • Flour the surface and roll out the dough into a long narrow strip, about 8x40 inches (20x101 cm).
  • With a knife, trim the edges of the dough.
  • Cut the dough into 4 rectangles.
  • Place the chocolate on the edge of the dough and roll tightly enclosing it in the dough.
  • Place the croissants on a baking sheet, seam side down.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Brush the croissants with the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg wash in the fridge for later.
  • Place the croissants in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Once the croissants have proofed, brush them with one more layer of egg wash.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS



Chocolate Croissants image

First let me say to you that if I can do this, you can. As I have never tried to hide, I have no patience and even less dexterity. But this is child's play: indeed, you could consider getting children to make them. They certainly like eating them, and they tend to like eating what they make themselves even more.

Provided by Nigella Lawson : Food Network

Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 (13-ounce) packet ready rolled butter puff pastry
1 (100-gram) chocolate bar (milk or dark depending on taste)
1 egg beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Unfurl the sheet of pastry and then cut it into 6 squares.
  • Cut each square diagonally to give 2 triangles (they will appear quite small). Put the triangle with the wider part facing you and the point away from you.
  • Break off small pieces of chocolate (approx.1cm/half inch) to place about 2cm/3/4-inch up from the wide end nearest you.
  • Then carefully roll from that chocolate loaded end towards the point of the triangle.
  • You should now have something resembling a straight croissant, seal it slightly with your fingertips and curl it around into a crescent.
  • Place the chocolate croissants on a lined baking tray and paint with the beaten egg. Bake for 15 minutes until golden and puffy and exuberantly, if miniaturely, croissant-like.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS



Chocolate Croissants image

My favorite chocolate croissants have a snappy chocolate bar in the middle. The combination of textures between the buttery flaky pastry and rich chocolate transport my mouth to Paris.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 7h35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
One 1/4-ounce packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) instant yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 1/2 sticks softened unsalted butter plus 2 tablespoons room temperature unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups warm milk (about 100 degrees F)
1 large egg
6 ounces semisweet chocolate, or chocolate of your choice
Nonstick cooking spray, for the plastic wrap

Steps:

  • For the croissant dough: In the bowl of your stand mixer, combine the flour, yeast, sugar and salt, then whisk together. Add 2 tablespoons of room temperature butter and beat with the paddle attachment. Mix on low speed until combined and the butter is no longer visible. Add the milk. Mix on low speed until the dough comes together, then switch to the dough hook. Knead on medium-high until the dough comes together into a smooth but still slightly loose ball, about 5 minutes. Remove from the mixer, then pat into a rectangle and wrap in plastic wrap. Let rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  • When the dough is almost done resting, make a rectangle of butter! Smush the remaining 2 1/2 sticks butter together into a rustic rectangle and dust all over with flour. Place it between two pieces of parchment paper (or butter wrappers) and press or roll it into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle. Roll the dough on a floured work surface to about 10 by 20 inches. Lay the butter rectangle in the center and fold one end over the butter. Fold the second end over the top, like folding a letter. This is the first turn. Wrap in plastic and chill 30 minutes.
  • For the chocolate croissants: Unwrap the dough and set one straight edge closest to you. Roll to about 10 by 20 inches and fold the short ends in to meet in the center, then fold closed, like a book. (This is the second turn.) Wrap and chill 30 minutes, then complete another book turn. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes after the third turn. Complete one more book turn. Wrap and chill at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
  • Beat the egg. Unwrap the dough and cut in half. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Working with half of the dough at a time, roll into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle and trim the edges with a pizza wheel to even it out. Cut into 6 rectangles by cutting it in half vertically, and then in thirds horizontally. Brush the rectangles with the egg wash. Lay a 1/2-ounce chocolate bar in the center of each rectangle, arranging it parallel to the short ends of the rectangle. Fold one end over the chocolate, and then the other end over that, again like a letter. Place seam-side down on one of the prepared baking sheets. Repeat with the remaining dough and chocolate. Spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray and cover the croissants loosely. Let rise at room temperature until light, puffy and increased in size by about half, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Brush the croissants generously with the egg wash. Bake, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, until puffed and deep golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool slightly on a rack.

CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS



Chocolate Croissants image

Categories     Chocolate     Side     Bake     Chill     Pastry

Yield makes 8 to 10 croissants (depending on size)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 recipe laminated dough (page 181)
Filling
6 tablespoons (3 oz / 85 g) cold unsalted butter
2 cups (12 oz / 340 g) semisweet dark chocolate chips or chunks
Garnish
1 egg, for egg wash
2 tablespoons water, for egg wash
Confectioners' sugar, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Do ahead
  • Prepare the laminated dough as directed on page 182, up to the point of shaping and baking. When you get to the final rolling, roll into a rectangle measuring about 32 inches wide by 7 inches high.
  • Shaping and baking
  • To make the filling, melt the butter in a saucepan, then turn the heat down as low as it will go, add the chocolate, and stir until the chocolate is melted. (You can also melt the chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or using a microwave in short bursts.) Pour the chocolate mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat and use a spatula to spread it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Cool until the chocolate is solid; you can put it in the refrigerator to speed this up.
  • Cut the rolled-out laminated dough into rectangles about 3 1/2 inches wide and 6 inches long (the 7-inch dough will shrink to 6 inches as you cut it). Use a metal pastry scraper or pizza cutter to cut the cooled chocolate into bars about 3 inches long and 1/2 inch wide. Lay one or two bars across the bottom of each piece of dough, then roll the croissants up into barrel shapes. Place the croissants on a parchment-lined sheet pan about 1 1/2 inches apart, seam side down. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and proof at room temperature for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. (If you don't want to bake all of the croissants at this time, place the extra croissants on a pan or in individual freezer bags and chill or freeze them.) The croissants will rise slowly and swell noticeably in size, but they won't double.
  • About 20 minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Whisk the egg and water together, the gently brush the egg wash over the croissants.
  • Place the croissants in the oven and immediately lower the temperature to 375°F (191°C). Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until the croissants are a rich golden brown on all sides, without any white sections in the visible layers. If they seem to be baking unevenly or are getting too dark and have streaks of light sections, lower the oven temperature to 325°F (162°C) and extend the baking time as needed. The croissants should feel light when lifted and be flaky on the surface.
  • Cool for at least 1 hour before serving. If you like, you can garnish the croissants after they have cooled with a light dusting of confectioners' sugar tapped through a fine-mesh sieve, or remelt any leftover chocolate filling and apply a squiggle of chocolate to the top.
