1. High-gluten flour + cocoa powder + corn starch + fine sugar
2. well mixed.
3. Add milk and mix well.
4. Melt the dark chocolate and butter in warm water (about 40°), then add, mix well,
5. Add the egg whites and mix well, pour into a small pot, stir fry on low heat until thick and doughy, and it is ready.
6. Let cool and roll out to about 20x20cm. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze.
7. Mix the ingredients other than the butter together, knead until the dough is smooth, then add butter, continue kneading until the surface of the dough is smooth and delicate, and a thin and unbreakable film can be pulled out (complete stage). Put it in a fresh-keeping bag, squeeze it, and freeze it for 30 minutes to harden the dough for easy shaping.
8. Take out the frozen dough about 28x28cm square
9. Take out the chocolate and put it in the middle
10. Squeeze the bag tightly.
11. Roll out the dough into a 20x40cm rectangle, and perform the first three-fold fold from the left and right 1/3 of each inward. Lay the dough horizontally and roll it out again. Perform the second 40% discount. Fold inward at 1/8 of the left, and fold inward at 3/8 of the right, and then fold in half.
12. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
13. Take out the dough, cut into long strips, and divide them into 8 equal parts. Stack every two parts with the cut side facing up.
14. For the final plastic surgery, the way to make four-strand braids is to separate the dough into 1234. The formula is: 1 press 2, 3 press 2, and 3 press 4. Repeat in order again.
15. Fold the braided braid back, close it down, put it into the mold, and cover it with plastic wrap
16. Ferment to 8-9 minutes full. Put it in the preheated oven at 165 degrees and bake for 35 minutes. (The baking time and temperature can be adjusted according to your own oven)
Tips:1. Frozen dough is better for shaping and folding, whether it is frozen rather than refrigerated.
2. The fermentation temperature is 26-28 degrees. Too high temperature will melt the chocolate and cause the lines to disappear.
