Instructions
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt.
Add the sourdough starter and milk, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth.
Incorporate the softened butter and knead until fully combined.
Let the dough rise for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and fold it into thirds.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Roll out again and sprinkle chocolate chips on top, then fold and roll again.
Cut the dough into triangles and roll them into croissants.
