For that, I sincerely hope that you wont get sick of the sight of croissants by the time you reach the bottom of this never ending post! If a chocolate croissant is better than a plain one, and an almond croissant is better than a chocolate croissant (in my humble opinon), then a chocolate-almond croissant should be heaven in a mouthful. That's exactly what I was after when I started to study pastry: a precise creation that. Plus "chocolate croissants" is kind of a misnomer, since croissant means crescent and these chocolate-filled pastries are more often Unlike puff pastry dough, croissant dough is made with yeast.
Instructions to make Croissants (Plain, Chocolate, Cheese, and Almonds):
- If you have a mixer, stir flour, water, milk, sugar and yeast on low speed. Then add the salt and butter and increase the speed one level up.. (You can do this process by hand as well, which I did)
- Shape the dough into a rectangle, cover with a kitchen towel and a plastic wrap. Let it set out for 2 hours then chill for at least 6 hours to ideally 10 hours.
- Shape the butter into an 8 inch square. Chill the butter, and take it out 20 mins before starting the folding step. Place the butter in the middle of the dough and fold from each corner side like forming an envelope. Then roll out the dough to a rectangle shape, fold the dough into thirds. Return that dough to the tray cover it with kitchen towel and plastic wrap and chill it for 8 hours.
- Repeat the rolling and folding 2 more times for at least 6-8 hours each chilled time. You should normally see the butter bubbling out.
- Get the dough out and cut it by half, roll out the dough to 16 by 12 inch. Cut the edges then cut the dough to your preference of plain or chocolate. Add your fillings roll. For the chocolate you do not need to cut in a triangle shape. Just straight will work.
- Proof for another 90 mins. Then brush the surface with your egg wash and bake for 15 mins on 190c (375) heat. Enjoy it after
- Enjoy
