Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Soy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and butter. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot.
Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead, adding the remaining flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. The dough should be soft but not sticky.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface. Gently knead in the soy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cover the shaped buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, until puffed up.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 10 minutes of the rise time.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
