Step 1

Heat the milk in a small saucepan until it is lukewarm (100F/37C). Add the butter in small cubes and melt it in the warm milk. Ensure the mixture is still lukewarm and remove it from the heat.

Step 2

Add the dried yeast and 1 tbsp of sugar and stir thoroughly until the yeast is starting to dissolve. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the sifted flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast, a beaten egg, and the vanilla essence, and mix everything thoroughly for about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Form a large dough ball and cover the bowl with a tea towel. Let it rest in a warm spot for 45 minutes for the first rise.

Step 5

Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

Step 6

Roll the dough out into a 30x30cm square using a rolling pin, and add the chocolate chips evenly. Roll the dough up from one end and cut the roll into 8 evenly sized portions.

Step 7

Using your hands, roll each portion into a 20cm/8inch log. To make the knotted buns, start by creating a U shape with the log. Twist the two top ends around each other twice. Fold the twisted top down into the hole and tuck it in. Place it on the lined baking tray and repeat the process for the other buns.

Step 8

Cover with a tea towel and let the chocolate buns rest for 15 minutes for the second rise.

Step 9

Preheat the oven to 180C/356F.

Step 10

Brush the knotted buns with the egg yolk and milk glaze, and bake them for 20 minutes until golden brown. Let them cool down a little and enjoy warm!
