Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Dough
In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm milk. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center, add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Knead and Rise
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.

Roll Out the Dough
Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface, about 1/4 inch thick.

Add the Filling
Spread softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the chopped chocolate evenly. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter, then roll it out again to the same thickness.

Shape the Croissants
Cut the dough into triangles. Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle tightly towards the tip. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
