Chocolate Chip Croissant Loaf

Ingredients:

• 2 cans (8 oz each) refrigerated crescent roll dough (or croissant dough if you can find it)

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chocolate chunks)

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

• 1/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)

• 1 egg (for egg wash)

• 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)

• Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

2. Prepare dough:
   Unroll the crescent roll dough and press the seams to seal so it forms one large sheet.

3. Butter & cinnamon sugar:
   Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon (if using), then sprinkle it evenly over the buttered dough.

4. Add chocolate chips:
   Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the dough.

5. Roll & place in pan:
   Starting from one long side, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Pinch the edges to seal. Place the log seam-side down into the prepared loaf pan.

6. Egg wash:
   Beat the egg with water and brush the top of the loaf for a nice golden color.

7. Bake:
   Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

8. Cool & serve:
   Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

Tips:

• Use good-quality chocolate chips or chunks for the best melty results.

• Serve warm for gooey chocolate or slice it when cool.

• You can add nuts like chopped pecans or walnuts for extra crunch.
