Ingredients

  • 3.5 cup All-purpose flour or bread flour (The description specifies flour or bread flour; divided between dough and tangzhong.)
  • 3 tbsp Sugar (Use 1 tablespoon to activate the yeast and the remaining 2 tablespoons with the dry ingredients.)
  • 1 tsp Salt (The transcript calls this a pinch; the description lists 1 teaspoon.)
  • 2.25 tsp Instant yeast
  • 0.75 cup Whole milk (Warm; for the dough.)
  • 1 Egg (Large, room temperature; for the dough.)
  • 0.25 cup Unsalted butter (Softened; add little by little.)
  • Ghirardelli chocolate (One piece for each bun; number of buns/pieces is not specified.)
  • 1.5 cup Chocolate (Type and intended use are not specified.)
  • 1 Egg (For the egg wash; transcript says to combine with a splash of milk.)
  • Milk (A splash, for the egg wash.)
  • 3 tbsp Flour (For the tangzhong.)
  • 0.5 cup Milk (For the tangzhong.)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract (Mentioned in the transcript but not listed in the post description.)

Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the tangzhong using the listed flour and milk. The source does not describe how to cook or handle it, so those details are not specified.

  2. 2

    Combine the yeast with 1 tablespoon of the recipe’s sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, until bloomed.

  3. 3

    In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the tangzhong. Add the vanilla extract mentioned in the transcript.

  4. 4

    Add the bloomed yeast mixture and the room-temperature egg to the bowl, then mix until combined.

  5. 5

    Add the softened butter little by little, mixing it into the dough as you go.

  6. 6

    Cover the dough and let it rise for 1 hour.

  7. 7

    Shape the dough into buns and add the chocolate. The source does not explain the shaping method, how the chocolate is incorporated, or the number of buns.

  8. 8

    Arrange the shaped buns in a baking dish and let them rise for about 30 minutes, until doubled in size.

  9. 9

    Whisk 1 egg with a splash of milk. Brush the mixture over the buns as an egg wash.

  10. 10

    Bake at 350°F (about 175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.

Notes

The post lists 1 teaspoon salt, while the transcript says a pinch; the post measurement is retained. Chocolate is listed both as one Ghirardelli piece per bun and as 1 1/2 cups chocolate, but the source does not clarify how these amounts relate. The description does not provide the tangzhong method, the chocolate-handling/shaping details, or a bun count.
