Part 2/6:
- 1 tsp (5g) vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Mixture:
2 tbsp (16g) cocoa powder
1 tbsp (15ml) milk
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Start by activating the yeast. In a small bowl, mix the active dry yeast with the lukewarm milk and sugar. Allow it to sit for about 5 minutes until bubbly and fragrant.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Then add the activated yeast mixture, the remaining lukewarm milk, beaten egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
Knead the dough until it pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Once you’ve achieved the right consistency, divide the dough into two equal parts, shaping each into a ball.
