Ingredients

For the Dough

• 550 g type 00 flour

• 7 g dry yeast

• 80 g granulated sugar

• 1 large egg

• 250 ml warm milk

• 60 ml vegetable oil

For the Custard Cream

• 250 ml milk

• 1 egg

• 50 g sugar

• 15 g cornstarch

• 70 g chocolate chips or chocolate candies

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, vegetable oil, and warm milk until smooth. In another bowl, mix the flour with dry yeast. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the liquid mixture and knead until the dough becomes elastic and slightly sticky. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Make the Custard Cream

Heat the milk until warm but not boiling. In a saucepan, whisk the egg, sugar, and cornstarch. Slowly pour in the warm milk while whisking. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and creamy. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.

Assemble the Buns

Roll the dough into a large rectangle. Spread the cooled custard evenly over the surface and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Roll the dough tightly lengthwise and cut into equal pieces.

Bake

Place the buns on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips & Storage

• Replace chocolate chips with raisins or nuts for variation.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
