Chocolatine

Chocolatine is a delightful French pastry that combines a flaky, whole-wheat dough with rich dark chocolate, creating a perfect balance of flavors. This healthier version uses less sugar and whole ingredients, making it a delicious and nutritious breakfast treat.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 150g
• Unsalted butter - 50g (cold, cubed)
• Greek yogurt - 75g
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Dark chocolate (70% cocoa) - 50g (chopped)
• Cold water - 3 tablespoons

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt. Add cold cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
2. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, honey, and cold water until well combined.
3. Gradually add the yogurt mixture to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
4. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 1 cm thick.
7. Cut the dough into 4 equal rectangles. Place a few pieces of chopped dark chocolate in the center of each rectangle.
8. Fold the dough over the chocolate, sealing the edges to form a packet. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
