World's best chocolate buns
This recipe is the best I have ever made for chocolate buns, they turn out just the way I want them; butter-soft and airy, filled with small luscious chocolate bits and a hint of cardamom. They taste faaaantastic! And they only get better with some butter on top and a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on the side.
Ingredients
- 200 gram Buttermilk
- 100 gram Water warm
- 35 gram Yeast
- 40 gram Sugar
- 3 pcs. Egg 2 in the dough + 1 for brushing
- 450 gram Wheat Flour + 25 g for kneading
- 100 gram Rye Flour
- 2 gram Cardamom ground

- 50 gram Butter soft
- 100 gram Dark chocolate coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Mix milk and water together. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm mixture.
- Mix in the sugar and the 2 eggs.
- Add flour, mix well, and pour the dough out onto a floured surface, where you continue kneading it by hand.
- Cut the butter into small cubes and knead it into the dough along with the chopped chocolate. Knead by hand until the butter and chocolate are evenly distributed and the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise at room temperature for an hour.
