Pain au Chocolate

*use a sharp knife whenever cutting laminated dough- so the layers don't seal together*

Roll out the croissant paton 1/4in thick
Roll 10in wide
cutin half hot dog style (so there are two 5in wide pieces)
individual pieces should be 5in by 3in

lay down 2 chocolate sticks. egg wash on the rim

roll up- should get a full revolution before hitting the second chocolate piece.
Press down so the seem is underneath in the center.
Egg wash
Proof about an hour
80 degrees, 80 humidity

bake in conventional oven
375 degrees 12 mins
(2 sec steam)
This is wrong. The consistency is somewhere in between laminated and enriched

This is wrong. The butter has oozed out (you can see a pool)
