Croissants made with puff pastry with chocolate
Description
The baking is simple and quick. I love delicious pastries, especially ones that require less effort. For example, croissants. Do you think making croissants in your own kitchen is difficult? Well, yes, if you spend half a day making puff pastry from scratch. But there's an alternative—ready-made puff pastry is now available in stores. Just find a good quality one and use it. I'll show you how to easily make chocolate croissants at home using store-bought puff pastry.

Step 1
Take the ready-made puff pastry out of the freezer in advance and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it thaw at room temperature. Then roll out the pastry into a sheet about 4-5 mm thick and cut it into long triangles.

Place several pieces of chocolate on the shortest side of the triangle. To make the chocolate easier to break, put it in the refrigerator for a while, then break it into pieces.

Step 5
Croissants should be baked using a special technique: first at 220 degrees Celsius for about 5 minutes, then at 180-190 degrees Celsius for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Let the croissants cool slightly before serving them with coffee or tea.
