Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Gradually mix in cold milk until a soft dough forms.
Knead lightly on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle and laminate with softened butter. Fold over like a book.
Roll out again and fold into thirds. Chill for another 30 minutes, repeating twice more to create flaky layers.
Roll final dough into a large rectangle, cut into triangles, place chocolate at the base, and roll up into croissant shapes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C), brush with egg wash, bake for about 20 minutes until golden brown.
