Ingredients

Scale

  • 120 g 70% dark chocolate batons

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add cold water and softened butter; combine until a shaggy dough forms.
  2. Knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  3. Roll out the dough to about 30×40 cm. Place the cold butter slab in the center and fold the dough over like a letter.
  4. Roll the dough gently to about 30×40 cm again; fold into thirds and chill for another 30 minutes. Repeat this step two more times.
  5. Roll the chilled dough to about 4 mm thick; cut into rectangles measuring approximately 10×12 cm.
  6. Place dark chocolate baton at one end of each rectangle and roll tightly around it.
  7. Proof on a parchment-lined tray for about two hours until puffy.
  8. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Brush with egg wash and bake for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
