Mix the milk, water, dry yeast, and sugar, then wait 8 minutes.
Add the flour and salt, knead for 5 minutes, let the dough rise for 60 minutes, then rest it in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
Roll the dough into a rectangle, place the cold butter in the center, and close it like a packet.
Roll the dough long, fold it in thirds, and chill for 30 minutes.
Repeat the rolling and letter fold two more times, chilling for 30 minutes after each turn.
Cut the dough into 12 rectangles, place dark chocolate on each piece, and roll them up.
Let the rolls rise on the tray for 90 minutes, until puffy.
Brush with egg and bake in a 205°C oven for 19 minutes, until browned.
💡 Tip: If the butter starts pushing out of the dough, stop rolling and chill for 20 minutes; warm dough glues the layers together.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve the pain au chocolat warm, like a breakfast pastry plate, with plain coffee or warm milk if desired.
