CHOCOLATE-FILLED CROISSANTS (PAINS AU CHOCOLAT)
It's worth the effort to order the special chocolate batons, which make the difference between an excellent pain au chocolat and an ordinary one.

Steps:
- Roll out and cut dough:
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour as necessary, into an 18- by 10-inch rectangle. Brush off excess flour with pastry brush and trim edges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife. Cut dough vertically into fourths, then horizontally into fourths to make 16 rectangles.
- Form pains au chocolat:
- Place 2 batons, flat sides together, along a short side of 1 rectangle about 3/4 inch from edge, letting batons extend over sides. Fold bottom edge of dough over batons and roll up dough around chocolate. Place, seam side down, on a parchment-lined large baking sheet.
- Make more pastries in same manner, arranging them 2 inches apart on baking sheets.
- Let pains au chocolat rise:
- Slide each baking sheet into a garbage bag, propping up top of bag with inverted glasses to keep it from touching pastries, and tuck open end under baking sheet.
- Let pastries rise until slightly puffy and spongy to the touch, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Bake pains au chocolat:
- Adjust oven racks to upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 425°F. Remove baking sheets from bags. Spritz inside oven generously with spray bottle and close door. Put pastries in oven, then spritz again before closing door. Reduce temperature to 400°F and bake 10 minutes without opening door.
- Switch position of sheets in oven and rotate sheets 180°, then reduce temperature to 375°F and bake until pastries are deep golden, about 10 minutes more.
