  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by mixing warm water, yeast, and sugar in a bowl. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a stand mixer, combine flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and mix until smooth.
  3. Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a floured surface and encase softened butter between two sheets of parchment paper within the dough.
  4. Roll and fold the dough in thirds like a letter; repeat this process two more times.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.
  6. Roll out chilled dough into triangles, add desired fillings, and roll them up tightly.
  7. Allow shaped croissants to rise on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 30–45 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), brush croissants with beaten egg wash, and bake for 20–22 minutes until golden brown.
