1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate

In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Gradually add milk and water; mix until just combined.
Knead on a floured surface until smooth. Wrap in plastic and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Fold into thirds like a letter and roll out again.
Cut into triangles and place chocolate chips and sliced almonds at the wide end. Roll tightly from wide to narrow end to form croissants.
