Notes

  • As making pain au chocolat is quite time consuming, I suggest you make the above full dose. You can freeze them right after shaping them (before they rise), by wrapping them individually in cling wrap and then putting them in a ziploc bag. When you want to eat them, take them out the night before and let them come back to room temperature and then rise and bake as per the instructions above.
  • You can also bake all of them the day you make them and then, after they cool down, freeze them. When you want to eat them, simply take them out of the freezer and put them in a pre-heated oven at 190°C – 375°F for 5 minutes.
