Ingredients used

1 cup dark chocolate chips
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold water
1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup protein powder
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups all-purpose flour

Preparation method

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, protein powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, softened butter, honey, and cold water until smooth.

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle and sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the surface. Fold the dough over the chocolate chips and roll out again. Cut into triangles, roll them up, and place on a baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
