Chocolate Viennese Baguettes

Recipe by Chef Sylvain - Long live pastry!

Soft and slightly crisp Viennese baguettes sprinkled with chocolate chips, perfect for breakfast or a snack. This homemade recipe reproduces the flaky texture of an industrial pastry thanks to a long kneading, a first rise, the incorporation of softened butter, then a second rise before baking.

Critical Success Points

  • Never let the yeast come into direct contact with the salt or sugar.
  • Incorporate the softened butter without melting it.
  • Observe the rise times for proper gluten development.
  • Score just before baking for a nice expansion.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle the hot oven; wear kitchen gloves.
  • Softened butter can be slippery; watch out for splatters.
  • Use a well‑sharpened knife or cutter for scoring to avoid slips.
