Dark Chocolate Buns
This is an attempt to recreate a kind of bums I used to buy as a dessert when having lunch between lessons. They don't taste very sweet, but they seem to fulfill the craving for a sweet snack quite well.
Recipe
- 500 g flour
- 250 g water
- 25 g yeast
- 50 g lard
- 12 g salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 128 g dark chocolate chips
Mix the ingredients except the chocolate as usual for bread and knead until you have a smooth dough; cover it and let rise for about 1 hour in a warm place.
Divide the dough and chocolate in 4 parts, flatten the dough and alternate one layer of dough and one of chocolate; knead quickly to mix the chocolate. Cut in 16 parts and form small balls, place them on a baking sheet, cover with a moist cloth and let rise for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 220°C and bake for about 15 minutes; after they have cooled a bit you can sprinke them with icing sugar.
Variants
Instead of adding chocolate chips, you can divide the dough in 16 parts and place half a teaspoon of jam, nutella or some cream in each bun.
