These fluffy chocolate chip milk buns are soft, tender, and lightly sweet with a rich buttery texture and pockets of chocolate in every bite. Perfect for breakfast, snacks, or a cozy homemade treat.

Ingredients

  • 450 g All-purpose flour
  • 260 ml Whole milk (warmed (approx. 40°C))
  • 60 g Unsalted butter (softened or melted)
  • 1/2 Cube fresh yeast (or 7g/1 packet active dry yeast)
  • 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp Baking powder (approx. 1/2 packet)
  • A pinch of salt
  • 150 g Chocolate chips
  • 8 g Vanilla extract (approx. 1 tbsp)
  • 4 tbsp Milk (reserved for glazing)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together the warm milk, yeast, sugar, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in the baking powder, then add the flour and salt and mix into a dough.
  3. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
  4. Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough until evenly distributed.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover airtight, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour.
  6. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each into a smooth ball. Place the buns on a parchment-lined tray.
  7. Cover with a towel and let the buns rise for another 20 minutes.
  8. Preheat the oven to 190°C (374°F). Brush the tops of the buns with milk and bake for 20–25 minutes until golden.
  9. Immediately after removing the buns from the oven, brush them again with the remaining milk.
  10. Let the buns cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Brushing milk on the hot buns after baking helps create a soft, cotton-like crust.
  • Use ingredients at room temperature when possible for the best dough rise.
  • Chocolate chips can be replaced with raisins or dried cranberries for a fruit-filled version.
