  • Hey there, baking enthusiasts! I'm thrilled to share my tried and tested Pain au Chocolat recipe with you today. Get ready to embark on a delicious journey with me.
    500g Gruau Rouge Flour t-45
    250g Water ( 1 egg, 50g milk and 150g water)
    60g Sugar
    10g salt
    10g dried yeast
    Laminate butter 250g
    -Mix 5min at a slow speed and 5min at a fast speed, then shape it into a ball and cut a cross in the middle. Make it into a rectangle and let it rest in the fridge for 4-6hours or overnight at 4 degrees
    Next day
    Incorporate the Butter and Give it 1 double turn and 1 single turn in one go. Let it rest in the freezer or fridge for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
    - Shape as a croissant or pain au chocolat. I prefer to leave it for another night so the dough rests. Then, proof for 2 hours at 26-27 degrees and bake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes until golden flaky pastry.
    - Proving around 2h-2h30 at 26 degrees
    Rest assured, your Pain au Chocolat will be ready in no time. Just bake at 180 degrees for around 20 minutes.
    Type of chocolate I use: amzn.to/3MvonmJ

    I'm a homemaker and made croissants once. 😂 They came out wonderful, but how fast they were eaten compared to how long it took to make them...I haven't made them since, but after seeing this video, I'm ready to make them again! 😋

    Leo! Congratulations for your videos! Quality 100/100 ! I'm learning right now and i love your videos! I have just one doubt,
    in the video recipe you use 4 eggs for 4 kg of flour, but in the written recipe you use 1 egg for 500g of flour, should we use 1/2 egg for 500g? Or is there any reason to add more egg in a smaller amount of flour? Thank you and keep up the good work because you are doing a wonderful job! A great artisan !

    • @leothebaker
      @leothebaker  Před 24 dny +1

      Thank you, Jose,
      Great question. The recipe is 1kg, but I know it’s a bit hard to laminate from 1kg by hand, so I did it in half. It doesn’t matter if is whole egg as it’s part of the hydration. I hope that makes sense to you.
