Love chocolate pastries from your favorite bakery but don’t want to leave the comfort of your home? With this easy recipe, you can recreate the same deliciousness of bakery-style chocolate pastry in your own kitchen. Follow these simple steps to make a decadent and flaky chocolate pastry that will satisfy your sweet cravings.
Ingredients:
– 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
– 1/4 cup of chocolate chips
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1 tablespoon of milk
– Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
3. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges.
4. Fold the other half of the puff pastry sheet over the chocolate chips and use a fork to crimp the edges to seal the pastry.
5. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pastry.
6. Cut slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.
7. Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Remove the pastry from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
9. Dust the top of the pastry with powdered sugar using a sieve.
10. Serve the chocolate pastry warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
– You can substitute the chocolate chips with chocolate chunks, Nutella, or your favorite chocolate spread.
– For a shiny finish, brush the pastry with melted butter or honey instead of egg wash before baking.
– You can make the pastry ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking.
– Experiment with different toppings like nuts, fruits, or caramel sauce to make your own unique pastry.
