- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Gradually add cold milk and water to form a soft dough. Knead gently until smooth.
- Roll out half of the chilled butter into a rectangle and place it in the center of the rolled-out dough. Fold over edges to encase butter.
