HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS (PAIN AU CHOCOLATE) RECIPE BY TASTY



Homemade Chocolate Croissants (Pain Au Chocolate) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, instant dry yeast, unsalted butter, cold unsalted butter, egg, sweetened chocolate bar

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Breakfast

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups flour
½ cup water
½ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 packet instant dry yeast
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ¼ cups cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch (1 cm) thick slices
1 egg, beaten
2 bars sweetened chocolate bar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and butter.
  • Once the dough starts to clump, turn it out onto a clean counter.
  • Lightly knead the dough and form it into a ball, making sure not to over-knead it.
  • Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Slice the cold butter in thirds and place it onto a sheet of parchment paper..
  • Place another piece of parchment on top of the butter, and beat it with a rolling pin.
  • Keeping the parchment paper on the butter, use a rolling pin to roll the butter into a 7-inch (18 cm) square, ½-inch (1 cm) thick. If necessary, use a knife to trim the edges and place the trimmings back on top of the butter and continue to roll into a square.
  • Transfer the butter layer to the refrigerator.
  • To roll out the dough, lightly flour the counter. Place the dough on the counter, and push the rolling pin once vertically into the dough and once horizontally to form four quadrants.
  • Roll out each corner and form a 10-inch (25 cm) square.
  • Place the butter layer on top of the dough and fold the sides of the dough over the butter, enclosing it completely.
  • Roll the dough with a rolling pin to seal the seams, making sure to lengthen the dough, rather than widening it.
  • Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's 8x24 inches (20x61 cm).
  • Fold the top half down to the middle, and brush off any excess flour.
  • Fold the bottom half over the top and turn the dough clockwise to the left. This completes the first turn.
  • Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Roll out the dough again two more times, completing three turns in total and refrigerating for 1 hour in between each turn. If at anytime the dough or butter begins to soften, stop and transfer back to the fridge.
  • After the final turn, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • To form the croissants, cut the dough in half. Place one half in the refrigerator.
  • Flour the surface and roll out the dough into a long narrow strip, about 8x40 inches (20x101 cm).
  • With a knife, trim the edges of the dough.
  • Cut the dough into 4 rectangles.
  • Place the chocolate on the edge of the dough and roll tightly enclosing it in the dough.
  • Place the croissants on a baking sheet, seam side down.
  • Repeat with the other half of the dough.
  • Brush the croissants with the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg wash in the fridge for later.
  • Place the croissants in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Once the croissants have proofed, brush them with one more layer of egg wash.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY CAKE



Chocolate-Cherry Cake image

Topped with a pompadour of airy whipped cream frosting - which tastes comfortingly of hot cocoa - this cake is reminiscent of Black Forest gâteau but with more chocolaty depth. The cake's dark chocolate flavor is enhanced by Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which produces a much deeper, Oreo-like chocolaty taste than natural unsweetened cocoa powder. A glossy, cherry-red layer of preserves keeps the crumb moist and tender, and a splash of almond extract evokes the aromatic bittersweetness of kirsch or maraschino cherries (cherries are, after all, in the same family as almonds). Don't forget the actual cherries on top; they'll make you happy.

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/118 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/56 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
3/4 cup/180 milliliters whole milk
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1 cup/305 grams cherry preserves (see Tip)
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1/4 cup/28 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup boiling hot water
2 cups/473 milliliters cold heavy whipping cream
Fresh red cherries, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with olive oil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder and baking powder until evenly distributed and no lumps remain. To a separate large bowl, add the 1/2 cup oil, eggs, milk, almond extract and salt and whisk until smooth, at least 30 seconds. Gently whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the last streak of flour disappears.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and tap gently against the counter to pop excess air bubbles. Bake until a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
  • Microwave the cherry preserves in a small bowl in 30-second intervals or in a small saucepan over medium heat until looser and slightly liquidy. Spread the preserves evenly over the cooled cake.
  • Make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and pour over the hot water. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, whisk until smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue whisking until billowy soft peaks form. When you turn the whisk upside-down, a peak of cream should flop over slightly like a Santa hat. Spread the frosting over the cake and, if using, garnish with the cherries. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface and will make it easier to shape the crescents.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it is smooth and easy to handle.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into triangles. This will help prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Bake the crescents until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the crescents cool slightly before serving. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
