How to cook with chocolate?

A very simple way to make quick sweet puffs - with chocolate. This recipe is suitable if guests are already rushing to see you, and you don’t know what to offer for tea.

• 500 g puff pastry without yeast;
• egg;
• 2 chocolate bars.

A standard package of ready-made dough usually contains two layers of dough. And this is very useful if you want to please your guests not with a simple dessert, but with pastries with different fillings. We suggest turning one layer into a puff with dark chocolate, and the second - with milk chocolate, filled with raisins and nuts. If you wish, you can replace the options with your favorite ones.

So, you need to start by rolling out the dough. In this case, the layer does not need to be cut, in the future it will be possible to cut the finished puff pastry into pieces. The sheet should retain its corners and be twice the size of the chocolate bar. Place the tile in the center and use a knife to make parallel oblique cuts along the remaining protruding edges of the dough. Next, we cover the chocolate with shorter pieces of dough, and weave the oblique ribbons one by one, completely covering it.

Repeat the same with the remaining dough and the second chocolate bar.

Beat the egg well and brush the pastries with it. We watch the edges of the baked goods; they must be well sealed, otherwise the chocolate may leak out. Bake at 200 degrees. within 20-25 minutes.

On a note. Banana goes well with chocolate. It can also be cut into strips and placed under the chocolate bar while assembling the puff pastry.
