Soft homemade chocolate chip buns, sweet and fluffy brioche bread rolls filled with chocolate chips. Much more delicious, not to brag, than the store-bought ones because they are homemade and certainly more genuine. 😊 The recipe is very simple, the rising hours are necessary to make them soft and delicious, so let’s be patient and we will be rewarded with the taste and satisfaction of having made them with our own hands. They are ideal for breakfast or a snack since everyone loves them. We can easily freeze them once cooled and warm them up in the morning for breakfast or as a snack.
Well, let’s discover it together and I look forward to seeing you on my Facebook page, my Instagram profile, and my YouTube channel with my videos for a greeting and a comment.

Preparation of Soft Homemade Chocolate Chip Buns
Prepare the aromatic mix a couple of hours before starting the entire recipe; if you have time, you can prepare it in the morning.
In a small bowl, put the honey and vanilla extract, mix, cover with plastic wrap, and set aside.
In a bowl, put the milk, yeast, malt, and flour. Stir with a spoon and let it rise, in the oven with the light on, covered with plastic wrap until doubled.
In the stand mixer’s bowl, place the starter dough, water, milk, egg, and egg yolk, sugar, aromatic mix, grated orange zest, and flours. Start the mixer with the paddle attachment and begin to work the dough at moderate speed. When the dough starts to take shape and compact, switch to the hook attachment. Run at moderate speed and start incorporating the softened butter cubes a little at a time, then finally add the salt. The dough is ready when it is elastic and climbs up the hook.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, work it a bit, spread it out, and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Fold the edges towards the center, work it to make a nice dough ball, and place it in a bowl to rise, covered with plastic wrap, until it doubles in size.
The dough has risen well, turn it out onto the work surface, and cut pieces of dough weighing about 60 g (approximately 2 oz) each to form the buns. Place the formed buns on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, well spaced apart, and let rise until doubled.
Brush the risen buns with an egg yolk and a tablespoon of milk beaten together and bake at 180°C (356°F) for 15 minutes. Once cooked, let them cool and enjoy my soft homemade chocolate chip buns.
