Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, active dry yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, melted butter, milk, and egg. Mix until combined.

  3. 3

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

  4. 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.

  5. 5

    Shape the Pain au Chocolat

    Once risen, roll the dough out into a rectangle. Cut into smaller rectangles and place chocolate pieces in the center. Fold the dough over the chocolate and seal the edges.

  6. 6

    Second Rise

    Place the shaped pain au chocolat on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  8. 8

    Bake

    Bake the pain au chocolat for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

  9. 9

    Cool and Serve

    Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your buckwheat pain au chocolat!
