Dough Preparation

1

Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2

Mix Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture, milk, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

3

Knead Dough

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

4

First Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Filling Assembly

5

Prepare the Filling

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Stir in the almond extract and let it cool slightly.

6

Shape Croissants

Roll out the risen dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Cut the dough into triangles, about 6 inches wide at the base.

7

Add Filling

Place a spoonful of the chocolate filling at the base of each triangle and sprinkle with sliced almonds. Roll the triangles from the base to the tip.
