Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 1 cup whole milk (warm)
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. In another bowl, combine warm milk and instant yeast; let sit until frothy.
- Add yeast mixture and eggs to the flour mixture; combine well. Gradually incorporate cold butter until the dough resembles coarse crumbs.
- Knead the dough gently on a floured surface until smooth, form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Roll out chilled dough into a rectangle; fold into thirds like a letter and repeat twice more.
- Cut rolled dough into triangles, place chocolate chips at the wide end, and roll tightly toward the point.
- Arrange croissants on a parchment-lined baking sheet, brush with egg wash, and let rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
