Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 450 g All-purpose flour
  • 260 ml Whole milk (warmed, approx. 104°F) Warmed milk helps activate the yeast.
  • 60 g Unsalted butter (softened or melted)
  • 0.5 cube fresh yeast (or 7 g/1 packet active dry yeast)
  • 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking powder (approx. 1/2 packet)
  • a pinch salt
  • 150 g Chocolate chips Use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
  • 8 g Vanilla extract (approx. 1 tbsp)
  • 4 tbsp Milk (reserved for glazing) For brushing the tops before and after baking.

Method
 

Yeast Prep
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, yeast, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Let sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
Mix & Knead
  1. Stir in the baking powder and a pinch of salt to the yeast mixture.
Add Chocolate
  1. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
First Rise
  1. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it airtight, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 1 hour.
Shape
  1. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll them into smooth balls.
  2. Place them on a parchment-lined tray, giving them room to spread.
Second Proof
  1. Cover the shaped dough with a towel and let them rise for another 20 minutes while your oven preheats.
First Glaze & Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 374°F (190°C).
  2. Brush the tops of the buns with the reserved milk.
  3. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden.
Final Glaze
  1. Immediately after removing the buns from the oven, brush them once more with the remaining milk.
Cool
  1. Let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Store these buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze them for up to three months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
