You'll need

Level 1

Bottom shelf, in the Combi pan

  • 120 ml½ cup water

Level 2

Top shelf, on the bake tray

  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 x 320 g11½ oz puff pastry sheet
  • All-purpose flour for dusting
  • 1 x 100 g3½ oz chocolate bar, broken into pieces

Method

  1. Pour water into Combi Pan; slide into Level 1.
  2. Beat egg with 1 tbsp water.
  3. Cut pastry into 6 equal rectangles on a lightly floured surface. Place 2 portions chocolate at edge of each.

    Our tip Work with the pastry cold from the fridge and cut straight down with a sharp knife. Warm pastry, or a blade dragged through it, squashes the layers and they won't puff.

  4. Fold pastry over chocolate to seal; place seam-side down on Bake Tray and brush with egg wash. Slide into Level 2.

    Our tip Keep the egg wash to the tops. Where it runs down the cut sides it glues the layers together, and they won't rise there.

  5. Select COMBI BAKE, 175°C345°F, . Unit steams before baking. Serve immediately or store airtight up to 3 days.

    Our tip Take them out when they're deep golden, sides included; pale sides mean the layers inside are still doughy.
