Ingredients

  • 100 gram Water
  • 100 gram Milk
  • 25 gram Yeast
  • 6 gram Coarse salt
  • 27 gram Sugar
  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 100 gram Dark chocolate
  • 0.5 kg Wheat Flour
  • 50 gram Butter

Instructions

  • Start by warming the water until it is lukewarm. You should be able to stick a finger in it without getting burned.
  • Pour the water into a bowl with the milk and dissolve the yeast in the mixture.
  • Then add the coarse salt, sugar, and only one egg to the mixture. Stir the dough together.
  • Beat the second egg in a separate bowl and pour half into your dough.
  • Set aside the rest of the beaten egg; it will be used later.
  • Chop the chocolate and add it to the dough.
  • Add a little flour at a time while stirring. You might not use all the flour; you can judge as you go.
  • Cover the bowl and let it rise for forty-five minutes.
  • Sprinkle flour on the countertop and turn the risen dough out onto the countertop.
  • Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape them into buns.
  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper and place all the chocolate buns side by side in the dish.
  • Cover them and let them rise for another thirty minutes.
  • Brush the rest of the beaten egg over the chocolate buns once they have risen. You can mix a little milk into the egg if you find you don't have enough for all the buns.
  • Place the dish in the middle of a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) on conventional mode.
  • Let them bake until golden and delicious. It takes about twenty minutes, and you can check them by gently tapping on the top.
  • Remove the chocolate buns from the oven once they are done.
  • Once they have cooled slightly, lift the parchment paper with the buns out of the dish and onto a cooling rack.
