Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 Large egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Soy-free chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk and butter. Heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is warm but not hot.

Step 3

Pour the milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined and a dough begins to form.

Step 4

Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead, adding the remaining flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.

Step 6

Once risen, punch down the dough and transfer it back to the floured surface. Gently knead in the soy-free chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

Step 7

Divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a smooth ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Cover the shaped buns with a kitchen towel and let them rise for another 30 minutes, until puffed up.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 10 minutes of the rise time.

Step 10

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the buns from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.
