Pain au chocolat

A pain au chocolat is a classic French pastry made from laminated dough, similar to a croissant. It has a rectangular shape and is filled with one or two pieces of dark chocolate.

The outside is golden, crisp, and flaky, while the inside is soft, buttery, and slightly chewy. When baked, the chocolate melts into a rich, smooth center.
