A few days ago a friend asked me what do I like more, cooking or baking.
Obviously I like both.. a lot!!
Anyaway..I replied that I like cooking more.
She was a bit surprised and said she was sure my answer would be the opposite because it's seems to her like I'm baking all the time.
And actually lately I do, although I have a more natural connection to cooking.
I don't know, I feel good and relaxed when I'm kneading a dough 😅
So here I am, coming up with another pastry recipe.
It's something I discovered on a trip to the States - chocolate chip rolls. HEAVEN.
So simple, so so good!
Especially in the morning with the coffee :)
I do not have much more to say and describe, fluffy and yummy rolls with chocolate chips.
Let's start :)
Ingredients:
500 grams of flour '00' [can also be replaced with all-purpose]
100 grams of soft butter
100 grams of sugar
10 grams of dry yeast
3 eggs
165 grams of really cold milk [you can add two ice cubes to it, but calculate it by the weight of the milk. Should be a total of 165 grams of milk including the weight of the ice]
A tablespoon of canola oil
Pinch of salt
60-80 grams of mini chocolate chips
For brushing before baking: 1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk and a teaspoon of powdered sugar
For glazing after baking: 3 tablespoons maple syrup and 2 tablespoons boiling water
Prep:
Place the flour, sugar and yeast in the mixer bowl and mix well with a spoon.
Add the rest of the ingredients except of the butter and salt and start mixing with a kneading hook on low speed.
As the dough begins to form, gradually add the softened butter until completely incorporated into the dough.
Add a pinch of salt and continue to knead for 10-15 minutes on medium speed.
Cover and let the dough rest in the mixer bowl for 5-10 minutes, after that transfer the dough to a lightly oiled work surface. The dough will be a little sticky, oil your hands a little as well.
With your hands, open the dough a little, sprinkle half the amount of chocolate chips and fold the dough.
Open it again gently and spread the rest of the chocolate chips and again fold the dough.
Open the dough again and folded it several times to incorporate the chocolate chips inside it.
Shape the dough to a ball, transfer it to an oiled bowl, cover it plastic warp and move to the refrigerator to rise overnight.
After 8-24 hours remove the dough from the refrigerator, separate and shape it to a 150-160 grams balls.
Arrange the balls in a pan, leave spaces between so it would have room to rise.
Let it rise for an hour and a half.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
Before you transfer the rolls into the oven, brush it with a beaten egg with milk and powdered sugar.
Bake for 15-18 minutes.
Mix 3 tablespoons maple and 2 tablespoons boiling water for glazing.
Remove from the oven and brush the rolls with the glaze maple.
Enjoy :)
