Chocolate Chip Buns Recipe
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F or 43°C)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
For the Filling:
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
For the Topping (optional):
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add melted butter, eggs, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Buns:
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air. Roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle (about 1/2 inch thick).
- Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly from one long edge to the other to form a log. Cut the log into 12 equal pieces.
- Second Rise:
- Place the cut buns in a greased baking dish, spaced slightly apart. Cover and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes until they puff up.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake the Buns:
- Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Optional Topping:
- While the buns are baking, mix together the melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Once the buns are done, brush them with the butter mixture while they’re still warm.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Tips
- You can add nuts or dried fruits to the filling for extra flavor.
- These buns are great for breakfast or as a sweet snack!
Enjoy your baking!
