Here is what you'll need!
Homemade Chocolate Croissants (Pain Au Chocolate)
Servings: 8
INGREDIENTS
4 cups flour
½ cup water
½ cup milk
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 packet instant yeast
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch thick slices
1 egg, beaten
2 bars chocolate
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, mix the flour, water, milk, sugar, salt, yeast, and butter.
Once the dough starts to clump, turn it out onto a clean counter.
Lightly knead the dough and form it into a ball, making sure not to over-knead it.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
Slice the cold butter in thirds and place it onto a sheet of parchment paper..
Place another piece of parchment on top of the butter, and beat it with a rolling pin.
Keeping the parchment paper on the butter, use a rolling pin to roll the butter into a 7-inch square, ½-inch thick. If necessary, use a knife to trim the edges and place the trimmings back on top of the butter and continue to roll into a square.
Transfer the butter layer to the refrigerator.
To roll out the dough, lightly flour the counter. Place the dough on the counter, and push the rolling pin once vertically into the dough and once horizontally to form four quadrants.
Roll out each corner and form a 10-inch square.
Place the butter layer on top of the dough and fold the sides of the dough over the butter, enclosing it completely.
Roll the dough with a rolling pin to seal the seams, making sure to lengthen the dough, rather than widening it.
Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it’s 8x24 inches.
Fold the top half down to the middle, and brush off any excess flour.
Fold the bottom half over the top and turn the dough clockwise to the left. This completes the first turn.
Refrigerate for one hour.
Roll out the dough again two more times, completing three turns in total and refrigerating for 1 hour in between each turn. If at anytime the dough or butter begins to soften, stop and transfer back to the fridge.
After the final turn, cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
To form the croissants, cut the dough in half. Place one half in the refrigerator.
Flour the surface and roll out the dough into a long narrow strip, about 8x40 inches.
With a knife, trim the edges of the dough.
Cut the dough into 4 rectangles.
Place the chocolate on the edge of the dough and roll tightly enclosing it in the dough.
Place the croissants on a baking sheet, seam side down.
Repeat with the other half of the dough.
Brush the croissants with the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg wash in the fridge for later.
Place the croissants in a warm place to rise for 1-2 hours.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Once the croissants have proofed, brush them with one more layer of egg wash.
Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Enjoy warm!

Our local grocery store has really nice chocolate croissants, after watching this I really respect the chef who makes them
It's not a goddam chocolate croissant! It's a pain au chocolat, or at least just call it chocolate bread if you want, but a croissant and pain au chocolat are two completely different things.
Wow really nice .... oyata oka hadannat puluwan

I LOVE her. That final walk of pride was hilarious. And I really admire how she kept her positivity despite failing so many times. You, lady, are amazing. Keep it up!
Well, she wouldn't have failed so many times if she'd bothered to do some research, like looking at a recipe...
steph You try doing it.
Well, if I wanted to try it, I'd start by looking at a recipe to find out how to make it work. Especially if I wanted to film it for a "professional" cooking video.
Because that's her job
Any one else love her personality. She is so positive an bubbly.
Colleen Dianuzzo shes also clumsy and dedicated! Whats not to love
Right when u said that she swore LOL
And*
You basically just read my mind...
Yes she is!
Alix: chocolate croissant
Me: excuse me, it’s actually Pain au chocolat
or Chocolatine
Radwa Hussein yessssss
CHOCOLATINE
Sayanka Biswas it has a name so we should call it by its name.

As of October 2019, Alix has officially left Tasty and moved on to something else, from us all Alix, if your reading this, thank you for making us laugh and showing us great recipes, I hope that what ever career you’ve moved on to you are successful and most importantly, have fun! We love you Alix, and we can all remember what good times we had with these videos. Again, Thank you.

Isobel Watters pretty sure she hasn’t left?? She just took a break to find herself and become healthier..?
there is a new tasty video featuring Alix, something about cinnamon rolls.
@@izl3978 and the one with Rie
I love that she is always smiling, positive, and laughing, she made me smile a lot. I really want to see more of her in future vids 😊

This is why a lot of people like tasty, they don’t just make it look easy and effortless in their video, they show you what the baker went through to get the perfect croissant.
These were trader joe's croissants at the end😭 OMG my life has been a lie.
This by far is the best video yet.... because this is what cooking is about messing up and having to do it over and over and over again... Additionally, it helps others when they actually witness someone else having a terrible time making something that's not that easy to make.... this video is definitely worthy enough to earn me pressing the subscribe button and ringing the bell...
Cindy Gordon honestly I don’t think it is the best video from tasty, because there have been several videos in which they mess up and they have to start all over again a lot of times, in order to have a good result.

Emily Snyder Sorry to be that person but she said good.
Me: l i e s
Alex*
Xx Nicki Minaj Fan xX No, her name is spelt like Alix.
Tasty: “chocolate croissant”
Me: that isn’t a croissant...
Exactly xD Those are either called "Pain au chocolat" or "Chocolatine" in France (it is a devisive question betweer regions xD In algeria we just call them "Petit pain" )
No we don't lol , petit pain is a mini baguette in Algeria and we just call them pain au chocolat .(at least my region )
My nans friend lives in frace and they call it pain au chocolat there too
@@chahinez5414 I live in Bejaia and we either call them petit pain or pain au chocolat yes.
I’m pretty sure it’s only Americans that call them chocolate croissants bcos in the Uk/Ireland those are known as pain au chocolat
In France there is two types of people:
The ones who call it "Pain au chocolat"
And the ones who call it "Chocolatine"
guys it's a PAIN AU CHOCOLAT.
Waouw , tu sait que çà fait longtemps que cette guerre est terminée
fact !! i’m from the uk and i still call it a pain au chocolat
@@jayden8642 I see your an homme of culture as well
My French teacher gave me free pain au chocolat in the condition that I side with him whenever the other French teachers call it chocolatine !
dashiii_artz when I see pain au chocolat I see pain Australia chocolate idky
I love how she's so bubbly and good vibes only! she's so cool!
I was ur 100th like
My homemade version:
Buy a chocolate bar
Buy a plain croissant
Put a chocolate bar inside and in the middle of the croissant

Who came from alex' TikTok 🤣🤣🤣 these were trader joes
I had no idea this is how you make them. The French baker that came up with the recipe must've been some sort of alchemist.
I *live* for alix’s personality
Alix and Rie are my favorite people on this channel
Live for yourself you are unique there will never be another you
Yes Alister is the best
Alix
I think she’s extremely annoying
"Support your local baker" DEAD 😂😂😂😂
It´ s amazing. Thank you so much!
I love how hardworking and compassionate Alix is about whatever she does, Never giving up even if it takes weeks!
"I could've dropped my croissant!"
YESSSS!!!!!!! THATS WHAT I THOUGHT OF TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bernadette Oposa i love you for this, im going through some hard times and you just make me smile and writing this im smiling again because i remembered when pewdipie was playing and a fan was giving him a whole speech and someone just came and shoot him in the head...

You know what I really love about these videos you know when like professional chefs make these videos and you're like oh that is so easy I can make those anytime I love that Alex shows you the real world experience and she's got such a positive energy which I love as well. And this is my 25th time watching this exact same video I love it.💖
Wow she must've gone through a lot of pain (au chocolat) to make those
aWH NO
it's so terrible it's funny

wow, they look so good. almost as good as store bought ones 👀😂
THIS IS THE BEST ERA OF TASTY. THERE YOU GO NOW I SAY IT 😭❤️
Honestly!! Tasty isn’t the same anymore😭
" making croissants? "
" Yeah "
" I made them once "
" Never again "
A few moments later
" Oh your making croissants ... I made them once in culnary
school "
" Never again "
honestly im a home baker and compared to macrons, I dont think they're that bad. I used a recipe from laura vitale and got them right the first time over a weekend and have made them 4 or 5 times since. However, macrons are so hard. I've tried them 3 times and have never gotten them right so i have given up. plus, croissants actually taste good unlike macrons.
Abigail Skelton i cringed every time i read the word “macrons”. it’s macarons-
Nabs :P oh I apologize. Freaking spell check am I right?!
Eden Swinnerton you’re*
Croissants and Macarons are hard to do. It's just that, Macarons uses expensive ingredients that's why mistake is not an option while Croissants, it's cheap. You can do it many times you want.
She’s literally smiling through the whole thing
Yes
Rie: how many times you fold-
Alix: I lost counts....
Rie: Owh............
"Many of you may be wondering why I haven't just given up, I've wondered the same thing myself, but it's my job so I can't" So relatable 😂😂
2:31 Rie: better move this microwave before Alix screws it up..
Why is no one talking about this
i deadass laughed so hard on this
Haha that was so funny man!! It really did look like that
IKR
she really seemed so happy at the end and it just made my heart break
So where you happy every time she failed?
gabby OMG
I think he’s saying her result was not something to be happy about.
I’ve never seen anyone make croissants like this before...it’s hilarious 😂❤️❤️❤️ love her lol
Me: looks at thumbnail
Wow those croissants are *huge*
Haha oh my gosh same 😢
*STAWPPP, I COULD HAVE DROPPED MY CrOsAuNt*

I love how energetic u r through out the whole time and no matter how many times u had to make the dough all over again, u didn’t lose temper once. Keep up the good work and lots of love ❤️❤️from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
You are actually catching fun with lots of smiles. I love seeing you around Alix❤
"omg its look amazing"

She smiled all the time. Makes me happy.. lol

Can relate
Alex is just so adorable and bubbly.
I’m sick and stuck at home on bed rest so these videos are the only thing making me laugh right now.
I would love to work for Tasty. Those lucky employees get to eat daily.
Dominique Akins eat daily? How often do you eat
Bob Mcfumguling 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏
Onix Navarro except those without food -_-
This person lives in Biafra stop being so insensitive
Its harder then you think

Miso Soup I wait yeah sorry must have watched it in 2019 😅
Rie giving Alex a round of applause was the most wholesome thing by far in this video
The way she came out of the kitchen with the croissant tray and then cheers for her self, that's why I like Alix so much, well done :)
I love how you just stuck with it and never gave up!

“my god they look amazing”
“...it’s butter”

EDIT: okay but 6:07 was so satisfying to watch 😍
Lol
How to spot a fake fucking friend

I like how you persisted and never gave up!
They must be wonderful neighbors. I love the energy around them. ❤❤❤
Alix - I'm having a mental breakdown...
Me - Awwwwwww she's so cute

In all seriousness I like how she's so cheerful and at the brink of breaking down at the same time
That's me when school finished Lmao
i would die for her personality shes so great she so positive and always smiling i love her
every once in a while this video pops up in my mind and I need to watch it, idk why I love it so much
it's funny, how behind the scenes came before the actual video
rockmetal on they want to show you how hard is it to make things like this , so you wont complain in the future.
We need to have this lady more shes fudgin' hilarious

You are freaking adorable! I love watching you bake because you get as frustrated as I do but you also never give up and your final products are always amazing! I made these and your macaron recipe. Keep it up!
She seems so sweet😍
Saw that you commented only 25 min. ago and immediatly had to check when they posted this video. Yep, I'm early for once.
myameen abedi yea so sweet
Hmmm 🍆🍆😘
Where is the normal video?
I know right!
i have same food
She is funny, freaking adorable.... and she can cook. We have a winner here ladies and gents !
Kelly D she can cook? Debateable since the entire video was her bloopers yet she was succesful so weigh the ends.
+MeechTree she can cook
She is a Tasty productor
MeechTree. That doesn't mean she can't cook though? It was a process of trial and error and she got it right in the end.
I made croissants today and trust me, I was every bit anxious while making it. Took me a total of frikkin 20hrs. But it was very fulfilling and magnificent when u finally get to have the taste of it.
👁feel like tasty makes everything seem easy but when they create it it seems hard AF
Its called "Movie Magic"
That's how everything is supposed to look like. If it looked hard, then nobody would be interested in it.
Well, she took 9 days for a crossiant, thats probably why I fail at 2 ingredient Ice cream.

I just love her so much! Love the way she struggles and doesn't care at all hahah
I love Alex❤️She have such a great personality🤗And I love her tips for baking😊😊
2:23
Alix:trying her best at rolling dough
Rie: doing stuff smoothly like its nothing
Both good bakers, just at different types of foods
I died when she kicked that door open with those glasses on 😂
Alex is the best producer ever. She is so funny and sweet.
She’s that one friend we all wish we had. ❤️😂
Who else had the impression that they always got it right the first time
Priscila H they’re not supposed to look at any videos when they first begin, they have to go off based of what others tell them, and their language.
its originality.. without looking at how other people do it then you can create your own tips and tricks in making it work. also whats that point of them cooking and having this whole Tasty company when all they're going to do is copy a recipe.
I understand its your opinion and I'm not hating im just trying to say why they wouldn't look at a recipe or video. Also cooking in the past never required you to understand scientific law so I don't get the reason why not looking at a recipe or video you'll defy science. Also nothing in this video states she trying to defy science. She's just trying to find a way to get the pastry to rise and create the layers in her way and by learning through her mistake. All chefs and even household cooks like mum's learn to create their dish better by learning from previous mistakes. That's what is shown in this video!
Michelle Martinez umm yeah that's kinda true but I don't think they are copying
Maria H.A I just saw the meatball video
I honestly think they’re just skilled and are good at what they do but they do make mistakes
Shes too likeable to be true
Laura Idiomas too likeable for buzzfeed
Laura Idiomas 🤪
Holy shit.. look at all these likes Laura idiomas
I feel like sometimes she's purposefully inept to be more relatable
