The Fluffiest Chocolate Chip Milk Buns

Soft, sweet chocolate chip milk buns perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g All-purpose flour
  • 260 ml Whole milk (warmed to approx. 40°C)
  • 60 g Unsalted butter (softened or melted)
  • 1/2 Cube fresh yeast (or 7g/1 packet active dry yeast)
  • 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 150 g Chocolate chips
  • 8 g Vanilla extract (approx. 1 tbsp)
  • 4 tbsp Milk (reserved for glazing)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the yeast. In a large bowl, whisk together the warm milk, fresh yeast, granulated sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes foamy.
  2. After your yeast mixture is foamy, add in the baking powder, a pinch of salt, and the all-purpose flour. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Once your dough is kneaded, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  4. After you’ve added the chocolate chips, place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it tightly. Leave it in a warm spot to rise for about 1 hour.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions, and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
  6. Cover the shaped buns with a towel and let them rest for another 20 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 190°C (374°F). Before placing the buns in the oven, brush the tops with milk.
  8. Bake them for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
  9. Once the buns are out of the oven, brush the tops again with the remaining milk.
  10. Allow the buns to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

Serve warm or with butter or jam. You can also use the buns to make bread pudding.
