Instructions
-
Mix the yeast with 1 teaspoon of sugar and lukewarm milk. Set aside to activate.

Once frothy, transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a hook attachment. Add the flour, egg, butter, and remaining sugar.

Knead for about 15 minutes, until the dough is smooth and very elastic.

Let the dough rest for 5 minutes. Add the chocolate chips and knead briefly by hand until evenly incorporated.

Divide the dough into 15 buns of about 40–50 g – 1 ½ oz. each. Place them on an oven tray lined with baking paper and let them rise for another hour.

Brush the buns with warm honey and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C – 350°F for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
