Pain au chocolat, sometimes referred to as a chocolate croissant, means chocolate bread—so you want to ensure that there’s chocolate in every bite. To do so, space the batons side by side with a layer of dough in between. Tuck the dough seam under the batons to prevent unfolding during baking. The end result should resemble binoculars.
