Yes! The Chocolate Croissant is actually called painauchocolat, as it is not in the shape of a crescent ⚜️😉

Ingredients:
3/4 cup water
2 1/4 tsp instant dry yeast
3/4 cup milk
1 egg
6 tbsp granulated sugar
Pinch of salt
4 1/4 cups flour
4 tbsp butter 55 g

Chocolate Layer:
1 1/2 tbsp hot water
1 1/2 tbsp cacao

For the Butter Layer:
2 stick butter

Chocolate Filling:
6 oz sweetened chocolate bar

Instructions
In a bowl, whisk the warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar together and let it rest until fluffy for 5-7 min.

In a large bowl (preferably of a stand mixer), put flour, the remaining sugar, salt, milk, egg, and the activated yeast.

Mix them well until combined for about 3-4 minutes. Add the room temp butter and knead the dough by stand mixer or hand for 7-8 minutes.

Preparing the Chocolate Layer:
In a medium measuring cup, stir the hot water and cocoa powder together and let it cool.

Take 1/5 of the dough into a medium bowl and combine it gently with the cooled cacao mixture by kneading until combined well.

Cover both the base dough and chocolate layer dough bowls with kitchen towels or plastic wrap and let them sit for 60-75 minutes until they rise twice in size.

Place the doughs onto a lightly floured surface and divide the chocolate dough into 3 and the base dough into 9 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball. Roll each ball out into a thin 7-inch circle and top with softened butter then layer the other 11 circles and top each layer with butter as in the video.

Transfer dough layers to a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and keep it in the refrigerator overnight.

The next day:
Roll the dough into an 10x23-inch (25x60cm) rectangle and using a sharp knife or pizza roller cut the dough into 6 or 7pieces (you can also cut each piece in half in the middle and make 12 small croissant.)

Using a sharp razor blade make gentle incisions as shown in the Reel.
Line one or two pieces of chocolate bars at the end of each dough piece and roll it up as in the video. Repeat the process with other pieces.
