Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 30 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 g Granulated sugar
- 7 g Instant yeast
- 1 tsp Salt
- 240 ml Warm milk
- 60 g Unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 100 g Chocolate chips
- 1 Egg
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until well combined.
Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula until a dough forms.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a bun. Place them onto the prepared baking tray, leaving enough space between each bun for rising.
Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Once risen, bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the buns are firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the buns to cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
