  • Total Time: 52 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1 cup Warm Water
  • 4 cups All-Purpose White Flour
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 1 large Egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1 cup Cheese

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast by combining warm water and active dry yeast in a mixing bowl; let it sit until frothy (about 5 minutes).
  2. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the mixture to the yeast solution and stir until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5–10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Chill the unsalted butter shaped into a rectangle between parchment paper for about 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle and encase the butter by folding it over.
  6. Roll out again and fold into thirds like a letter; chill for at least an hour. Repeat this process two more times.
  7. After chilling, roll out once more, cut triangles, fill with desired ingredients, and roll towards the tip.
  8. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment, brush with egg wash, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–22 minutes until golden brown.
