Best 10 Petits Pains Au Chocolat Recipes

PAIN AU CHOCOLAT (CHOCOLATE-FILLED CROISSANT)

Steps:

• Pour the water into a bread machine pan; add the flour. Sprinkle the milk powder over the flour. Place the sugar, salt, and 2 tablespoons of softened butter into the corners of the pan. Make a small indent in the top of the dry ingredients and put the yeast in the indent. Run the bread machine on the basic dough setting.
• Meanwhile, lay out a sheet of waxed or parchment paper. Shape the remaining 1/2 cup of butter into a 3x5 inch rectangle on the waxed paper; wrap and chill until ready to use.
• Remove the butter from the refrigerator and allow to soften while you roll out the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 8x12 inch rectangle. Place the butter on half of the dough, leaving a 1/2 inch border of dough on 3 sides. Fold the other half of the dough over the butter and press the edges firmly to seal.
• Roll the dough out to a 6x14 inch rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds from the long ends, as you would fold a business letter. Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Place it onto a lightly floured surface so that the folded edge faces you. Roll the dough out again into a 6x14 inch rectangle, and fold into thirds. Cover with plastic and chill for 20 minutes.
• Repeat step 5, chilling for 30 minutes.
• In a small bowl, beat together the egg yolk and milk; set aside. Grease two baking sheets.
• Roll the dough out into a 12x21 inch rectangle. Cut the dough into thirds in both directions, to make 9 rectangles. Divide the chocolate among the rectangles. Lightly brush the egg yolk mixture around the edges of each piece. Starting at a short end, roll each piece of dough around the chocolate as if you were rolling a cigar. Press the edges together to seal.
• Place the pastries onto the prepared baking sheets; cover with greased plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until they have doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Brush the top of the pastries with the remaining egg yolk mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer pastries to wire racks. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MINI PAIN AU CHOCOLAT

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the top third of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400˚F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Thaw the frozen puff pastry according to the directions on the package.
• Gently unfold the puff pastry. Dufours unfolds into 4 equal sections. Use a sharp knife to separate the sheet at the fold lines to have 4 equal squares. Wrap and refrigerate 3 of the squares, and roll the 4th piece out to a 7" X 7" square. Slice the square into 3 equal strips.
• Pro-Tip: If the puff pastry gets too warm, it may stick to your work surface. Return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes and try again.
• Note: Pepperidge Farm Frozen Puff Pastry is folded in thirds. Unfold and roll into a square. Cut into 4 equal squares, and then into 3 strips.
• Separate the yolk from the egg white of one whole egg. Discard the yolk, and spill the egg white into a small bowl.
• Optional: If you're using the raspberry jam, smear 1 teaspoon of jam along the length of each strip, leaving a 1-inch border at each end.
• Remove the chocolate from its packaging. It should be divided into 8 squares. Using a sharp knife, divide each of those squares in half. It's fine if the chocolate square breaks apart a bit. Each half square of chocolate weighs approximately .25 ounces.
• Place a half square of chocolate at one end of the puff pastry strip over the jam. Fold the end of the pastry over the chocolate, and carefully roll it almost to the end of the strip. Baste the end of the strip with egg white. Complete rolling, and place on the baking sheet with the seam facing down.
• Pro-Tip: It's very important to ensure that the seam is on the bottom of the roll, against the baking pan. This, in addition to the egg white, helps to seal the puff pastry to itself during baking.
• Repeat with the remaining squares of frozen puff pastry, one at a time.
• Optional: Baste the top of each roll with egg white, and sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top.
• Bake for 20 minutes at high altitude, or until a golden brown. (Note: I baked them at 7100 feet.) At sea level, bake for 15 minutes.
• Place on a cooling rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.
