While making chocolate croissants (also known as "pain au chocolat") may seem like a complicated and daunting task, the recipe only requires eight ingredients: water, yeast, flour, butter, sugar, an egg,...

Proof your yeast in the warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer. The recipe calls for active dry yeast, but instant yeast also works well.

After proofing the yeast, mix the rest of the ingredients in the mixer using the dough hook until combined.

Using clean hands, roll the dough into a smooth ball. Then return the dough to the bowl and let it rise in a warm spot for two hours, or until doubled in size.

After rising, roll the dough into a large rectangle and fold into thirds. Then wrap in plastic wrap and chill; to achieve the iconic layers of a classic croissant, the dough must be kept cold at all times.

Roll out two sticks of butter and fold into the dough. This is what makes this a laminated dough- the many layers of dough and butter will create a light and flaky pastry.

Fold the square of dough into thirds and wrap with the plastic wrap, then chill the dough- this will prevent the butter from melting during the next steps. You can also choose to freeze your dough at this...

Roll out the dough and cut into 12 pieces. Place two rows of chocolate on the dough and tightly roll up the dough, being careful not to squish the layers.

Place the rolls on silicone mats or parchment paper lined baking sheets and brush the tops with egg wash; this will give the croissants a golden brown crust and shine once they've been baked. Sprinkle...

Bake for about 25 minutes at 400° until the tops are golden brown, and cool for an hour. The recipe for chocolate croissants calls for a half batch of regular croissant dough, but making a whole batch...
