Orange Chocolate Croissants

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast.

   Tip: Whisk gently to incorporate.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, whisk together milk, orange juice, eggs, and melted butter.

   Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

3. 3

   Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

   Tip: Don't overmix.

4. 4

   Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

   Tip: Use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment or knead by hand.

5. 5

   Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

   Tip: The dough should have doubled in size.

6. 6

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: Make sure the paper is large enough to accommodate the croissants.

7. 7

   Roll out the dough to a thickness of 3mm. Cut into triangles and roll each one into a croissant shape.

   Tip: Make sure to seal the edges tightly.

8. 8

   Place the croissants on the prepared baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

   Tip: This will give the croissants a golden brown color.

   Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

   Tip: Check on the croissants after 10 minutes.

10. 10

    Allow the croissants to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before filling.
