Stage 3 - 2 hours 30 min.
At the end of this time, tip it onto the work surface and press down on top to release gases.
Stage 4 - 5 min.
Then reshape into a ball, while kneading a little with your hand.
Stage 5 - 10 min.
Cut dough into lumps of of approximately 50g. If you have weighing-scales, you can do this by weighing, but flour the scale-pan first.
Stage 6

Stage 7 - 15 min.

Do this for all the dough.
Do this for all the dough.
Stage 8
Flatten each ball with your fingers, to form a kind of elongated cake.
Stage 9
Place a stick of chocolate on it.
Stage 10
Roll the dough up around the chocolate.
Stage 11 - 45 min.
If necessary, tidy up the ends. The dough should extend barely 1 cm beyond the chocolate, but it should no longer be visible.
Stage 12 - 1 hour
Arrange the rolls on a baking sheet, leaving room between them as they will rise and spread during baking. Be sure to place the seam downwards. Cover with a plastic sheet and leave to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
Preheat the oven ot 230°C or 446°F.
Preheat the oven ot 230°C or 446°F.
Stage 13 - 5 min.
Then, glaze the rolls, and put in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Stage 14 - 20 min.
Take out of the oven as soon as they are well coloured. They should not be overcooked, otherwise they will be too dry.
Remarks
If you plan to eat them the following day instead of freshly-baked, I suggest you re-heat them just before serving (about 10 minutes at 100°C or 212°F).
Katia gives us a good tip in case you have no sticks of chocolate: use leftover chocolate truffles.
[Translator's note: since when do chocolate truffles ever last long enough to be leftover?].
