Chocolate Chip Buns

Ingredients

• 4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm milk (about 110°F)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)

Preparation

1. 1. Prepare the Dough:
      • In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
      • Add the warm milk, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
      • Gradually add the remaining flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes together and is slightly sticky.
   2. Knead the Dough:
      • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
      • Add the chocolate chips and knead until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
   3. First Rise:
      • Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until doubled in size.
