How To Make Chocolate Hazelnut Buns

Step 1: You will need.

Step 2: Mix ingredients.

Into the mixing bowl add the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, butter, yeast and water. Mix on a low power for 4 minutes and if the mixture seems a little stiff, add a drop of milk to loosen it up. Next, add the chocolate chips, crushed hazelnuts and the rest of the milk.

Step 3: Prepare dough.

Knead the dough on a floured surface and roll it into a ball. Cover with a towel and leave for 5 minutes.

Step 4: Divide dough.

Continue by separating the dough into 2 equal portions and roll them into logs. Cut the logs into pieces and roll the pieces into buns. Transfer the buns to a tray and cover with a towel.

Step 5: Allow to rise.

Set the buns aside for at least 2 hours (overnight for best results) to allow them to rise.

Step 6: Prepare the buns.

Using a sharp knife, make slits in the buns but be careful not to damage the shape of the buns. Brush the buns with the egg mixture.

Step 7: Bake.

Place the buns in the centre of the oven for approximately 15 minutes. Allow to bake until glistening brown.

Step 8: Serve.

Remove the buns and allow to cool for a while. Serve hot or cold with butter and a steaming cup of coffee.
