Traditional Pan au Chocolat Recipe

This is a very simple dish, which would traditionally be eaten for breakfast or as a light snack.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 sheet (from 17.3 oz. package) frozen puff pastry, thawed
3.5oz. bar bittersweet/dark chocolate (try to get European brands)
3.5-oz. bar milk chocolate (try to get European brands)
For the glaze: 1 egg beaten with 1 Tablespoon water
Sugar


Method: Break/ cut the each chocolate bar into six to eight pieces and set aside. Then unfold and roll out the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface to a thickness of approx a "mouse mat" . Cut it into 12 squares. Place 1 piece of chocolate on the edge of a pastry square and roll up the dough tightly, completely enclosing the chocolate. Repeat with remaining pastry.

Place the rolls on a baking sheet, seam side down, covered in cling film and place in a refrigerator to cool/harden slightly. It is acceptable to make these up to one day in advance. When baking, Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the tops of the rolls with the egg glaze/wash and sprinkle with sugar (some leave this out to give it a SLIGHTLY more savoury taste). Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
