Sweet buns with chocolate paste

Cookinero 4 November 2022

Very tender, airy, homemade yeast dough buns. They can be made with jam, poppy seeds, or, like me, with chocolate paste. These buns have a very interesting molding that decorates them incredibly.

How to cook Sweet buns with chocolate paste

Step 1

Mix all the ingredients in a deep bowl and knead the dough. I usually do this in a stand mixer with a hook attachment, you can also knead in a bread machine. I add butter last. Cover with cling film, a towel, and leave in a warm place for about an hour or a little longer (depending on the temperature in the room).

Sweet buns with chocolate paste - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour, but the texture and rise may vary slightly.
Store the sweet buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Yes, replace butter with coconut oil or vegan butter, and use a plant-based milk alternative. Ensure the chocolate paste is dairy-free.
You can use Nutella, peanut butter, jam, or a homemade date paste as alternatives to chocolate paste.
Ensure the dough is well-kneaded and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft.
Yes, adjust the size of the dough balls for smaller or larger buns, but baking time may need slight adjustments.
Thaw frozen buns at room temperature, then warm them in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for 5-10 minutes or microwave for 20-30 seconds.
Serve warm with a drizzle of melted chocolate, a dusting of powdered sugar, or a side of fresh berries for extra flavor.
Yes, mix in chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries into the dough for added texture and flavor.
Possible reasons include inactive yeast, cold rising environment, or over-kneading. Ensure yeast is fresh and the dough rises in a warm spot.
