Chocolate buns made from yeast dough

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake chocolate buns from yeast dough? Measure out the ingredients needed to make the dough. Take the highest grade wheat flour. Warm the milk slightly.

2. STEP 2

   

   Sift the flour into a wide bowl with high sides. This must be done so that the flour is enriched with oxygen. Then the dough will rise easily and the baked goods will turn out fluffy and airy.

3. STEP 3

   

   Melt the butter over low heat, cool slightly.

4. STEP 4

   

   In a small bowl, combine the yeast, 1 tsp. sugar from the total amount and 50 ml of lukewarm milk. Mix everything and leave for 10 minutes to activate the yeast. A foam “cap” will appear on the surface.

5. STEP 5

   

   To prepare the dough, choose a large, spacious bowl, keeping in mind that the dough will rise. Whisk the egg with sugar, salt and vanilla sugar.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add activated yeast to the resulting mixture and stir.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add melted, non-hot butter and sour cream. Mix well.

8. STEP 8

   

   Add about 3/4 of the sifted flour. Flour has different properties, so you may need more or less of the specified amount. Do not pour out all the flour at once, so as not to make the dough dense and tight. Mix everything first with a spoon.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add the rest of the flour in small portions, while mixing the dough with your hands and controlling its consistency.

10. STEP 10

    

    Knead a soft, homogeneous dough that does not stick to your hands. Cover it with a towel or cling film and leave it in a warm place to rise for 1 hour 20-30 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    While the dough is rising, prepare the chocolate filling for the buns. Any dark chocolate without additives will do. Corn starch can be replaced with potato starch.

12. STEP 12

    

    Break the chocolate into small pieces so it will dissolve faster.

13. STEP 13

    

    In a small saucepan, combine dry ingredients: sugar, cocoa, flour and starch.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour in the milk in small portions, while stirring everything with a whisk. The liquid mass should be homogeneous, without lumps.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place the pan with the chocolate mixture on the stove. Heat the mixture over moderate heat. It is very important at this time to constantly stir everything with a whisk so that lumps do not form.

16. STEP 16

    

    When the mixture thickens a little, add butter and chocolate. Mix well until they are completely dissolved.

17. STEP 17

    

    Cook over low heat, stirring all the time, until thickened.

18. STEP 18

    

    Cool the finished chocolate filling well.

19. STEP 19

    

    When the volume of the dough increases by 2-2.5 times, you can start cutting it.

20. STEP 20

    

    Divide the dough into equal parts, the number of which will depend on the desired size of the buns. Roll the balls and cover them with a towel to prevent them from drying out.

21. STEP 21

    

    Sprinkle the table with a little flour. Roll each piece of dough into an oval shape.

22. STEP 22

    

    Place chocolate filling in the middle of the cake.

23. STEP 23

    

    Bring the edges of the dough together and pinch well to form a pie.

24. STEP 24

    

    Press the seam and gently, without strong pressure, roll out the dough again into a flat cake.

25. STEP 25

    

    Make slits lengthwise on the flatbread, not reaching the edges.

26. STEP 26

    

    Roll the dough with the filling into a roll, twisting it diagonally.

27. STEP 27

    

    Roll the roll into a ring and connect the ends well so that the bun does not unfold during baking. Form the remaining dough into buns in the same manner.

28. STEP 28

    

    Mix the yolk with milk until smooth.

29. STEP 29

    

    Place the resulting pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let the buns rise for 15 minutes. Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the buns with yolk.

30. STEP 30

    

    Bake the chocolate buns in an oven preheated to 180C for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Baking time may vary, as it depends on the operating characteristics of the oven.

31. STEP 31

    

    Cool the finished baked goods and serve. Bon appetit!
