    3:36 I learned a very nice and easy way to roll dough into rectangles. Before you do any pressing or rolling, take a sharp knife and cut an X halfway into the dough ball, then take the tip of each of the four sections and fold them outwards. You'll basically be left with a thick square that is very easy to roll into whatever size rectangle you want.

    Okay, first things first: Thank you Chef John; another inspiring video.
    I made these over the last two days with mixed results. The lamination was great, and the technique using softened butter plus 15-minute rests in the freezer was much easier than working with a solid butter slab. The braiding technique was also easy and worked well. But ... 425 degrees turned out to be too hot in my oven, and the tops started to burn before the interior was baked. (The interior only got up to 185 degrees, I think that was about 10-15 degrees too low.) The next time I make these (probably tomorrow and the next day), I'll lower the temp to 400 or tent with foil for the last 10 minutes or so.
    Chef John was certainly right when he said this would be fun work; it really was.
    Just one more thing, the full recipe on AllRecipes mistakenly instructs you to make the final roll-out to 12 x 16 inches; it should say 12 x 6 inches!

    I bought or got for christmas at some point in the distant past a marble rolling pin. I keep it in the freezer. It allows me to take fewer rest periods when making laminated dough. I make croissants a couple of times a month. The marble rolling pin is very effective at keeping the dough cold.

    Have made a brioche loaf that has chocolate and a vanilla custardy cream inside, but never tried muffins.
    Also have made a chocolate chip panetonne bread (Italian), instead of using dried fruits and nuts.
    Strangely enough, chocolate goes rather well with bread.
    Wouldn't try it with a sourdough, but any slightly sweet bread is amazing with chocolate.

    A forbidden secret, which in my opinion results in something just as impressive to behold, but with a good bit less work and less risk of complications like broken butter or split dough: you only need to fold this three times. I know, that means it's not a thousand layers, but neither is this. And three folds is actually closer to a croissant anyway, and has a beautifully lacy result. Just something to think about if you have had challenges with this recipe, or if you were feeling discouraged from trying it because of the effort involved. Same delicious layered chocolate brioche, now with 33% less folding.
