Double chocolate sweet buns: a simple, genuine snack that will delight kids as well as adults. The double chocolate sweet buns can be enjoyed plain or can be filled with hazelnut cream. They can be served as a snack but also at breakfast. The double chocolate sweet buns are so good (especially if you enjoy them warm) that it’s better if you prepare a double batch!
I always make a habit of citing the source from which a recipe comes. Often I rely on my twenty years of experience in the kitchen, I refer to my pastry courses where I learned the balancing and therefore you do not see sources because the recipe comes from a desk study with paper and pen. But sometimes I find interesting ideas (that I want to try) from very talented colleagues. And since these are recipes that deserve it, I then propose them to you again. It is also a way to make you know blogs worth following because there is a lot to learn. Until today, all reference links to the sources were at the bottom of the article. From now on, you will find them here. In the introduction. So that when you open the recipe it will be clear and evident to everyone where it comes from without any possibility of misunderstanding. These double chocolate sweet buns are a recipe by Nicoletta Palmas of Bread and Butter specialized in leavened products. Obviously, I made some small changes to my liking.

Steps
In the stand mixer bowl, insert the flour with the crumbled yeast, add the sugar and the milk, and start the machine. When the dough starts to come together, add the salt, melted chocolate, softened butter, and orange paste. Let the ingredients blend and work until a nice smooth dough forms, then add the chocolate chips and incorporate them into the dough. Transfer the dough to 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 the work surface and divide it into 12 portions of 50 grams each. 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.
