Ingredients
For the sandwiches

1 egg

150 ml of warm milk

7 g of dry yeast

2 tablespoons of sugar

2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil

8 g vanilla sugar

420 g of flour

½ teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon butter

½ teaspoon baking powder

For the cream

150 ml of milk

2 tablespoons of sugar

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 egg yolk

8 g vanilla sugar

For the gasket

1 egg yolk (for brushing)

Chocolate chips to taste

Preparation

1️⃣ Prepare the dough

In a bowl, dissolve the yeast in the warm milk along with the sugar. Add the egg, oil, and vanilla sugar. Combine the flour, salt, and baking powder, then knead until the dough becomes soft. Add the butter and knead for a few more minutes. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour, until doubled in size.

2️⃣ Prepare the cream

In a saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla sugar, egg yolk, and cornstarch. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cream thickens. Let cool.

3️⃣ Form the buns

Divide the dough into balls, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and make a slight incision in the center. Fill with the cream.

4️⃣ Decoration and cooking

Brush the edges with egg yolk and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20–25 minutes, until golden brown.

Serving and Storage Tips

Perfect warm with a cup of milk or coffee. They keep soft for 2–3 days in an airtight container. You can also freeze them without the cream and fill them after thawing.

To the cocoa cream: add bitter cocoa to the cream.

Without chocolate: replace the drops with granulated sugar.

With jam: use jam instead of cream.

Whole wheat: Replace half the flour with whole wheat flour.
