Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • Oven

Ingredients

Dough

  • 300 gram Milk lukewarm
  • 25 gram Yeast
  • 1 pcs. Egg
  • 50 gram Sugar
  • 50 gram Butter melted and cooled
  • 250 gram Tipo 00 Flour flour
  • 250 gram Wheat Flour
  • 3 gram Salt

Fill

  • 2 pcs. Egg
  • 100 gram Dark chocolate chopped
  • 60 gram Sunflower Seeds

Instructions

  • Heat the milk until finger-warm and dissolve the yeast in it.Stir 1 egg, sugar, and melted butter into the bowl with the yeast mixture.
  • Add both types of flour and salt – knead the dough for 6-7 minutes in a mixer.Let the dough rise for an hour at room temperature.
  • After rising, preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius (428 degrees Fahrenheit), conventional oven.
  • Pour the dough out onto the table and make an indentation in it for the filling. Put chocolate, the 2 eggs, and sunflower seeds in the indentation. Fold the dough over so the filling is covered and chop the dough into small pieces with a dough scraper or sharp knife. Eggs and filling will run out – that's okay. Keep chopping and gathering the dough so the filling gets incorporated into the dough.
  • Divide the dough into 9 pieces and place them on a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • Let the buns rise again for 30 minutes.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes in the oven – keep an eye on them. They should be golden and soft. Serve – preferably warm with a bit of butter.
