Bourke Street Bakery's Pan au chocolate (Bourke街巧克力可颂)


和朋友庆祝40生日。我在他们当中很不幸是个子最小但是年龄最大的一个了。
其实也不是大很多啦!说到这点我每次都要抗议。哈哈。。。女人是很怕老的嘛。
我们4个女人,今年都陆续的庆祝了我们的40大生日。
我比较幸运吧?39和40都有妈妈为我庆生。
明年的41也会在马来西亚,所以也有机会和家人一起过;想到就开心。
没有家人在这里的话,朋友就好比家人般;所以朋友之间有人生日,我们都不会错过。
蛮有意思的聚会,朋友当然感到意外和开心(因为这是个秘密派地)。
我第一次筹办这种午餐聚会,当然也开心咯。
吃得很饱,但是我最喜欢的是甜点还有那个酒,朋友之中有2个不喝,所以我就光明正大的帮忙,呵呵。。。。我是酒鬼呐。

意犹未尽,用之前Bourke Street Bakery's 的可颂食谱做了这个pan au chocolate 即巧克力可颂。
同样的食谱可做24个。
所以若你和我之前一样做了整份的可颂面团,那倒可以把一半的面团拿来做这巧克力可颂。
这样就一箭双雕咯,可以享受两种不同的口味。
这不是一件容易做的工作,所以通常遇到难做的,多工的,我喜欢做多一点。
把其它多余的冷冻起来,要吃的时候再烤一烤,方便多了。

Ingredients:
  • 1 quantity croissant dough (refer here
  • 480g dark chocolate (cut into strips long)
  • egg wash (refer here)
Method:
  1. Take the rested dough from fridge and roll into a rectangle, about 35 x 100cm and about 5mm thick.
  2. Cut the dough into 24 rectangles, about 8x 16cm each. Place the rectangles on trays lined with baking paper and place in refrigerator for 10mins. Remove from refrigerator.
  3. Using 10g of chocolate, place at a line at the narrow end closest to you and fold the dough over to enclose. Using another 10g of chocolate, place another line to sit beside the first and continue rolling the dough to form a log.
  4. Repeat with the remaining pastry pieces and chocolate.
  5. Place the pan au chocolate onto trays at well-spaced interals, seam side down. Cover loosely with damp tea-towel. Set aside in warm room for 1.5 - 2hrs, or until almost doubled in size. Spray the tea-towel with water if it becomes dry.
  6. Preheat oven 240C. Remove the tea-towel, brush the topof pan au chocolate with egg wash and place in preheated oven. Reduce the oven temparature to 190Cand bake for 15mins, or until a deep golden colour. Cool slightly on the tray before serving.
我亲爱的朋友们,有我们几个在,就一定是和吃有关的。听起来好像“酒肉朋友”哦?才不是的,我们也讲“心”的。以上的照片除了2个小妹妹(都穿黑白),我们都是踏上40列车的女人。

  1. Hi Jane, I've been to Bourke Street Bakery for a few times and everytime I ordered their signature pork & fennel sausage. Their sister company is called Central Baking Depot. If you really go there one day & wants to take photos, remember to ask for the permission first. I went to their branch in Surry Hill & had no problem to take photos but when I went to another branch in Neutral Bay,I forgot to ask & got a bad experience there. Felt like someone had punched me on the face.It was my fault tough, should always ask first.
