• 10 pieces per pack

Ready-to-bake frozen pain au chocolat Danishes offer the convenience of enjoying a classic French pastry at home without the hassle of making it from scratch. These pastries are pre-made and frozen to preserve their quality, allowing you to bake them fresh whenever you desire. Here’s a detailed description:

Dough:

• Texture: The dough is a laminated pastry, similar to croissant dough, with multiple thin layers created by folding and rolling butter into the dough several times. This process results in a light, airy, and flaky texture with a slightly crisp exterior once baked.
• Flavor: Rich and buttery, providing a perfect balance to the chocolate filling.

Filling:

• Ingredients: High-quality dark or milk chocolate sticks or batons are used as the filling, which melt during baking to create a gooey, rich chocolate center.
• Flavor: Deep, rich chocolate flavor that complements the buttery pastry.
• Appearance: The chocolate filling appears as two dark, parallel lines running through the center of the pastry.

Shape:

• Form: The pastries are typically rectangular, with the chocolate filling rolled into the dough, creating a distinct layered appearance with the chocolate visible at the ends.
• Pre-assembly: Pre-assembled and frozen, these Danishes are ready to bake directly from the freezer.

Baking Instructions:

1. Thawing: Thaw the croissants in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour until they are pliable and slightly risen.
2. Preparation: Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature, usually around 350°F (170°C) or 375°F (190°C).
3. Baking: Place the thawed croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Optionally, brush with an egg wash (one whole egg and one yolk) for a glossy finish.
4. Baking Time: Bake for the recommended time, typically 15-20 minutes, until they are puffed up and golden brown, depending on the type of oven you use. We recommend using convection oven.
5. Cooling: Allow the croissants to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Optional Glaze: Some variations may include a light glaze made from powdered sugar and milk or cream. Drizzle the glaze over the pastries once they have cooled slightly for added sweetness and a glossy finish.
• Toppings: A light dusting of powdered sugar can be added for an elegant touch.
