Pain au chocolat - Production

You will need to make your own pain au chocolat:

1 rectangular rolled-out puff pastry (approx. 320 g)

16 chocolate bars

1 egg yolk

First, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle. Note that the dough should measure approximately 48 x 16 cm. Once you have rolled out the dough, you can cut it into 8 rectangles of the same size, each measuring approx. 12 x 8 cm.

Now you need 2 chocolate bars per piece of dough. Start folding the dough by placing one chocolate bar on top, rolling it up loosely once, then add the second chocolate bar and finish rolling it up.

Once you have rolled up your pain au chocolat, you can place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper for approx. 15 minutes with the seal side down and leave to cool. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 200 °C top/bottom heat or 180 °C fan oven.

Once the pain au chocolat have rested long enough, you can brush them with egg yolk and bake them in the middle of the preheated oven for approx. 25 minutes.

And you have already baked delicious pain au chocolat, which you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch or as a snack between meals with your loved ones.
