Glazed croissants with shop-bought puff pastry

Method

1. Lay one sheet on top of the other and roll them out a little.
2. Cut into triangles and make a small cut in the short side of each croissant.
3. Fill with chocolate, one square per croissant, or leave them plain (I made 2 with 85% chocolate, 2 with white chocolate and two plain)
4. Roll up loosely and brush with milk.
5. Bake at 180° for about 20 min (best to keep an eye on them).
6. Let them cool a little and glaze them with a mix of icing sugar and water (I left one without). The glaze is what gives them their sweetness. For savoury fillings, skip the glaze and add grated cheese before baking.
7. Done! Bakery-style croissants at home without much effort.
