Sweet buns with chocolate chips. Fluffy and shiny – perfect with warm milk. Delicious when freshly baked and still warm. Great for breakfast :).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Makes 15 buns.<\/p>\n

Ingredients for the chocolate chip buns:<\/u><\/p>\n

\n
• 540 g strong white bread flour<\/li>\n
• 80 g caster sugar<\/li>\n
• \u00be tsp salt<\/li>\n
• 10 g\u00a0dry yeast or 20 g fresh yeast<\/li>\n
• 75 g\u00a0butter, melted<\/li>\n
• 250 ml\u00a0milk<\/li>\n
• 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
• 170 g dark or milk chocolate chips, or dark or milk chocolate, chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Ingredients for the glaze:<\/u><\/p>\n

  \n
  • 1 egg yolk mixed with 1 tbsp water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Sift the plain flour and mix with the dried yeast (if using fresh yeast, first make a starter). Add the remaining ingredients (except the butter) and knead. Once the dough comes together, add the melted butter and knead again. Knead until the dough is smooth, stretchy, and elastic (you can knead by hand or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook). At the very end, add the chocolate chips and knead briefly to combine. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly floured bowl. Cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1\u00bd hours).<\/p>\n

    Turn the risen dough out onto a floured surface. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Briefly knead the dough, then divide it into 15 equal pieces (about 82 g each) and shape into buns. Place the buns on the baking tray, leaving space for rising. Cover with a towel and leave to rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 40 minutes or longer). Brush the buns with beaten egg yolk to give them a lovely sheen.<\/p>\n

    Bake at 180\u00b0C for about 18-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave to cool.<\/p>\n

    Making in a bread machine:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Place all the ingredients in the bread machine in the following order: liquids, dry ingredients, and dried yeast (or check your owner\u2019s manual and follow the order recommended for your machine). Choose the dough setting and press start. At the end of kneading, add the chocolate chips. When the cycle is finished, remove the dough and continue with the recipe above.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/p>\n
