Ingredients

• One pack of pain au chocolat dough
• 1 egg, beaten

Method

1. Open the dough pack and unroll the pastries into six portions.
2. Put two chocolate sticks in per square.
3. Roll the sides over the chocolate towards the middle and press down.
4. Place in the air fryer and brush with beaten egg.
5. Cook for 10 minutes at 180C.

The brilliant thing about this air fryer recipe is it's so convenient and fast. And because you are using ready-made dough, it's literally a case of putting the chocolate onto the raw pastry and popping it into the air fryer. 

You've got just enough time to make a fresh pot of coffee or tea, and your fresh pain au chocolat pastries are ready to enjoy. We know it's hard not to dive straight in, but just be sure to give them a couple of minutes to cool down first!
