Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and the egg, then mix until a dough forms.
- 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.

Prepare the Butter Layer
While the dough is rising, prepare the butter layer by placing the unsalted butter between two sheets of parchment paper and rolling it out into a square about 1/2 inch thick. Chill in the refrigerator.

Laminate the Dough
Once the dough has doubled in size, roll it out into a large rectangle. Place the chilled butter layer in the center and fold the dough over it, sealing the edges.
- 6
Roll the dough out gently into a larger rectangle, then fold it into thirds (like a letter). Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes. Repeat this process two more times.

Shape the Croissants
After the final roll, cut the dough into triangles. Place a few chocolate chips at the wide end and roll them up tightly.
