Easy Chocolate Croissant
Croissant is a buttery flaky pastry of Austrian origin named for it's historical crescent shape. It is made out of yeast leavened dough whereby the dough is layered with butter, rolled and folded several times. Then finally rolled into a thin sheet which is called laminating. The end result is flaky, buttery similar to a puff pastry.
Croissant can be made plain or even it can be filled with chocolate or other fruit preserves. Here I have tried a quick and easy recipe to make croissants. End result is almost similar. So when you are running out of time and you are in no mood to follow things meticulously this is the best recipe.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
First of all, add sugar and yeast into the warm milk and rest it for 5 to 7 minutes.
- 2
In a big bowl, take flour and salt and mix it well. Add yeast mixture to it and make a soft dough out of it. Now add 2 tablespoon of butter to it and knead it for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is smooth. Now cover the dough and keep it in a warm place for 1hour or until double in size.
- 3
Now take out the dough on a work surface and knock the air out of it. Now divide the dough into 16 equal portions. Now make small balls out of all the portions.
- 4
Roll the dough into thin circles with the help of dry flour and apply butter to cover it fully. Now put that aside and repeat with all the remaining dough balls. Make sure that the butter is applied properly and all the butter should be used by the time you finish with the dough balls. Now cover the the pile of the rolled pastry sheets with a cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
- 5
After 2 hours, take out the pastry sheets on a working station and roll it into a very big circle with the help of some dry flour. Now divide it into 12 equal triangles.
- 6
Now take one triangle and put a piece of chocolate and start rolling it from the bigger part to the smaller part. Repeat the same process with all the triangles. The tip of the triangle should be at the bottom of the croissant so that while baking it does not come out.
- 7
Arrange all the croissants on a greased baking tray and brush it with little milk. Rest it for 30 minutes until double in size. Now again brush it with little milk and bake it in the preheated oven at 200 degree for 15 to 20 minutes. As soon as it comes out of the oven, brush it with little butter and cover it with the cloth so that it remains soft.

Crispy Croissants Crispy Croissants
After I tried many recipes, I finally arrived at a recipe that I'm satisfied with!When you are sealing the edges of the dough together during Step 5, try not to let any air in. If a large amount of air gets in, then poke with a toothpick to let it out. If it's a small amount, don't worry about it! The dough will stick to the board and rolling pin as you repeatedly fold the dough, so dust with a small amount of flour. For 10 croissants. Recipe by Chikayan -

Quick and Easy Chocolate Croissants Quick and Easy Chocolate Croissants
You only need 1 sheet of puff pastry, 2 chocolate bars, 1 teaspoon of milk, and 1 teaspoon of sugar to make delicious chocolate croissants. Of course, this isn't the traditional recipe, which requires making a laminated yeast dough and takes much longer and is more complicated. However, this recipe lets you whip up a tasty snack when your favorite bakery is closed. (If tomorrow is a holiday and the bakery is closed, and you have puff pastry, I can help you out!)

The key to making beautiful layers is to not let the butter melt until you bake. Recipe by Nagiry -

Foolproof Croissants Foolproof Croissants
These are the croissants that I finally succeeded in making on my 6th attempt. I have failed many times with all the recipes that I read. I even thought that this was not my thing. In this recipe, I note what I have learned from my mistakes, and hopefully these will be helpful hints for others like me who have been failing at their attempts. If you follow this recipe and the croissants still don't come out right, let me know, so I can give you advice! Good luck and enjoy making delicious croissants.I updated the recipe to make it very easy to follow.1. Do not knead the dough! 2. Keep the dough chilled at all times! Chill it! 3. Keep your working surface dusted lightly with flour, and dust the dough with a lot of flour until it has a grainy texture. Keep the dough moving while rolling it out. 4. If the butter comes out, cover it lightly with the flour! 5. Roll up the dough loosely so it has space to rise. 6. Make sure to rise the dough until it doubles its original size. 7. Coat the butter with cake flour! Recipe by asaco* -
Croissant-Dogs Croissant-Dogs
Croissants were an invention creidted to Austria in city of Vienna. The man went to France in the late 1800's. The French call all baked goods from Vienna viennoiserie. The name in Austria for croissants is kipfrel, and are sweet or semisweet. So a savoury kipferl or croissant, meaning crescent moon, is the croissant we know and love today.There is a slight difference of opinion about the invention of this delicious bread. Egypt and places in the Middle East claim credit to making them way back in the 1200's. I just am grateful to all who make them for they are indeed delicious!!
