Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tsp active yeast
  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 c flour + 2 tbsp
  • Pinch salt
  • 3 tbsp chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp sprinkles
  • Egg wash 1 egg beaten + sprinkles for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine yeast and warm water, stirring gently to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes, until foamy.
  • Combine flour, sugar, salt, egg yolk, oil, chocolate chips, sprinkles, and yeast mixture in a bowl and stir until just combined. Dough will be shaggy.
  • Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 min by hand (or by using bread hook attachment on your mixer). Dough should be smooth and elastic. If it's too wet, add a little bit of flour.
  • Coat a separate bowl in oil, put the dough ball in , and turn to coat the entire ball in oil. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place for an hour (an oven with the light off works great).
  • Let rise 1 hour, then punch the dough down to deflate it, and allow to rise another hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350F.
  • After the second rise, cut into 4 pieces. Roll each piece out to a roughly 1 foot long 'snake', fold, twist, and tuck ends under to create a 'braided bun' shape on a lined baking sheet.
  • Brush buns with egg was and top with additional sprinkles. Let rest while oven preheats.
  • Bake at 350 for 22-26 min, until buns are lightly golden.
  • Remove buns from oven and allow to cool for an hour. This will allow them to soften up. Serve with a side of Nutella for dipping, or enjoy them on their own!
