Easter Calendar 2021 - Buns with chocolate

Today it is Good Friday (Langfredag) being the second day of the Danish Easter vacation. So today, I will enjoy my vacation time with a home-made bun for the blog post for my Easter Calendar 2020.

I have used this recipe on bun with poppy seeds as inspiration (replacing the poppy seeds with chopped milk chocolate.

Buns with chocolate: - 10 buns

• 20 g fresh yeast
• 2 teaspoon sugar
• 100 g butter - cut into medium pieces
• 100 g milk
• 1 egg
• 125 g sour cream, 18% fat
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 400 g wheat flour
• 40 g milk chocolate - medium chopped

1. Weigh all the ingredients into the mixing bowl, keeping the sugar & salt away from the yeast. The chopped chocolate is first added towards the end of the kneading process.
2. Knead the dough at speed 1 on the stand-alone mixer for 10 minutes.
3. Add in the chopped milk chocolate.
4. Knead the dough at speed 4 for 2 minutes.
5. The dough will have a soft/sticky feeling.
6. Place the dough in a mixing bowl, which can be closed with a lid. 
7. Raise the dough at ambient temperature for 1-2 hours.
8. Fill the dough into egg shape silicone form.
9. Raise the dough warm for 20-40 minutes.
10. Heat up the fan oven to 190'C.
11. Bake the buns at 190'C for 15 minutes. 
12. Cool down the buns, before serving them.
