The Pain Au Chocolat

The Pain au Chocolat is a beloved French pastry with a rich history, crafted using the same delicate laminated dough as a croissant. Originally inspired by Austrian baking traditions, it became a staple in French patisseries, where skilled bakers perfected the recipe, layering buttery pastry around rich, dark chocolate to create the perfect balance of crisp, flaky texture and indulgent sweetness. While traditional recipes require time and skill, our expertly crafted Pain au Chocolat brings the authentic taste of artisan baking straight to your home, simply bake to golden perfection and enjoy.

Frequently Asked Questions for Bake at Home, Pain Au Chocolat

How do you cook pain au chocolat?
For bakery-fresh Pain au Chocolat at home, simply preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) / 200°C and place the thawed pastries on a lined baking tray. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the pastry is golden and flaky. Let them cool slightly before enjoying the crisp, buttery layers and rich chocolate filling. Perfect for a slow weekend breakfast or an indulgent treat!
What is the difference between a pain au chocolat & a chocolate croissant?
The main difference between pain au chocolat and a chocolate croissant lies in their shape and pastry layers. Pain au chocolat is typically rectangular, made with buttery croissant dough that is wrapped around a piece of rich dark chocolate, creating a more compact and neat pastry. In contrast, a chocolate croissant is shaped in a classic crescent form, with the same flaky, buttery dough but often layered with chocolate in a more spread-out fashion. While both pastries are delicious, pain au chocolat offers a more straightforward chocolate-filled experience, while a chocolate croissant may have a slightly puffier, more open texture.
Can I bake pain au chocolat from frozen?
While you can certainly bake pain au chocolat from frozen, we personally recommend removing your pain au chocolat from the freezer the night before you plan to bake them. Place them on a lined baking sheet, leaving space for them to expand, and allow them to prove overnight at room temperature. The next day, preheat your oven to 180°C, egg wash each pastry, and bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and crisp.
