Double chocolate sweet buns: a simple, genuine snack that will delight both kids and adults. The double chocolate sweet buns can be enjoyed plain or filled with hazelnut cream. They can be served as a snack or at breakfast. The double chocolate sweet buns are so good (especially if you enjoy them warm) that it’s better to make a double batch!
I always make it a habit to cite the source of a recipe. Often, I rely on my twenty years of experience in the kitchen and reference my pastry courses where I learned balancing, so you might not see sources because the recipe comes from a studied process with pen and paper. However, sometimes I come across interesting ideas (that I feel like trying) from talented colleagues. Since these are recipes worth sharing, I bring them to you. It’s also a way to introduce you to blogs worth following because there’s much to learn. Until now, all the reference links to sources were at the article’s end. From now on, you’ll find them here. In the introduction. So that when you open the recipe, it will be clear and evident where it comes from, leaving no room for misunderstanding. These double chocolate sweet buns are a recipe by Nicoletta Palmas of Bread and Butter, who specializes in leavened goods. Of course, I’ve made some small modifications to suit my taste.

- 1 1/8 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Manitoba flour
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp cocoa powder

Steps
In the bowl of the stand mixer, add the flour with the crumbled yeast, then add the sugar and milk and start the machine. When the dough begins to come together, add the salt, melted chocolate, softened butter, and orange paste. Let the ingredients combine and work until a smooth dough forms, then add the chocolate chips and incorporate them into the dough. Transfer the dough into a bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled. It will take at least three hours, or maybe more, depending on the external temperature. After the resting time, transfer the dough to a work surface and divide it into 12 portions of 50 grams. Form balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let the buns rise until doubled (about an hour) and bake in a preheated oven at 340°F for 15 minutes.
