Hi Bold Bakers! Croissants are delicate and delicious pastries that require technique but they’re much easier to make than most people think. I will show how easy these lovely treats are to create. Already have an account? Although Homemade Chocolate Croissants do require a few steps, the good thing is that it’s the same step over and over. Once you get the hang of it, you will make them faster each time. My dough is not made using the traditional croissant method. I freeze my butter and grate it into my dough. I freeze the butter because I want it as cold as possible and it gets down to pea size pieces which gets easily distributed throughout the dough.
This dough can be made by hand, no kitchen mixer needed.
They are incredibly soft and flaky, and you can make them ahead of time, freeze them, and bake them off fresh whenever you want.
I always opt for an addition of chocolate whenever I can but if you like to keep them plain that’s ok too.
Homemade Chocolate Croissants are a labour of love, I’m not gonna lie. However when see you your hard work coming out of the oven all golden brown it is well worth it.
Here is a step by step of the folds you have to do to your dough. I need visuals when I bake so I hope these help you too Find my Holiday Desserts here!
