How to make chocolate croissants

1. Sieve the flour and salt into a bowl. Mix the fresh yeast and sugar and add to the lukewarm milk or sprinkle dried yeast in the milk with the sugar and leave until frothy. Melt 25 g/1 Oz of butter, and add to the flour; mix to a soft dough. Knead lightly, cover and leave to prove for 30 minutes.

2. Knead the dough again and roll into a rectangle. Divide the remaining butter into three portions. Dot one portion over the top two-thirds of the dough. Fold up the bottom third of the dough and then the top third down on this. Press the edges together, and give a quarter-turn to the dough. Roll out again and repeat the process twice more. Between each rolling, cover the dough and leave in a cool place for 10 minutes.

3. Heat the oven to 230C / 450/mark 8.

4. Roll the dough out thinly and cut into triangles with 15-cm bases and 23-cm sides. Place a few pieces of chocolate at the base of each triangle and roll up from the base. Curl the ends to form a crescent. Place on lightly greased baking sheets, cover and leave to prove for 20 minutes. Brush with beaten egg and bake for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and eat freshly baked.
