Dough

Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, mix warm milk (110°F) with sugar and yeast. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Mix until a dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Filling Preparation

  1. 5

    Make Filling

    In a bowl, whip heavy cream, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder until soft peaks form.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 6

    Shape Buns

    After the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into equal pieces. Flatten each piece, place a spoonful of filling in the center, and fold the edges over to seal.

  2. 7

    Second Rise

    Place the buns seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.

  3. 8

    Preheat Oven
