Enclose the butter sheet in the dough and perform 2 double turns. Let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Place the rolled-out cocoa dough on top of the croissant dough and roll out to a thickness of 2 mm.
Cut vertically into 30 x 6.5 cm rectangles (approximately 90 g). Score half of the surface of each rectangle with a 6-blade cutter (Mallard Ferrière SKU 01475), making 3 cm incisions in staggered rows.
Turn the rectangles over. Lightly moisten the edge, then roll up with 2 sticks of chocolate.
Keep in the freezer or let rise for approximately 2½ hours at 26°C. Let rest for 15 minutes at room temperature (20°C). Preheat the convection oven to 190°C, and bake at 170°C for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the pains au chocolat with the maple syrup.
