It's so satisfying to make your own bread and pastries. Plus, I use locally milled stone-ground flours. Just perfect!

Steps

25 minutes
  1. 1

    Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, add all ingredients except the butter and knead for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Shape the dough into a ball and refrigerate for 1 hour.

  3. 3

    Prepare the butter: Place the butter between two sheets of parchment paper and pound it with a rolling pin to form a 8-inch (20 cm) square. Chill for 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Roll out the dough into a 8x16-inch (20x40 cm) rectangle. Place the butter in the center, then fold both sides of the dough over the butter to seal it completely.

  5. 5

    Make a double fold (book fold), then chill for 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Make a single fold, then chill for another hour.

  7. 7

    Roll out the dough and cut it into 16 rectangles, each about 3x5 inches (8x12 cm). Place 2 chocolate sticks on each rectangle, spaced slightly apart. Roll up each piece. Brush with egg wash and let rise at room temperature for 3 hours.

  8. 8

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). While the oven heats, brush with egg wash a second time and bake for 25 minutes.

  9. 9

    I know it's hard, but let them cool before you dig in!
