Chocolate chip sticky buns

Chocolate Chips Sticky Buns

4 Cups White Flour

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

1/4 Cup Unsalted butter cut into small pieces

1/4 Cup Caster Sugar

1 packet Easy-blend dried yeast

1 Egg Yolk

1/2 Cup Water

4 Tbsp Milk

3 Tbsp Maple syrup

For the Filling

3Tbsp Unsalted butter melted

1/3 Cup Muscovado Sugar Or Light Brown Sugar

1 Cup Plain Chocolate Chips (I used plain and milk)

3/4 Cup Chopped walnut (I used Almonds)



Step 1:

Grease a deep 23cm/9in springform cake tin. Sift flour cinnamon into a bowl, then rub in the butter until the mixture looks like coarse breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and yeast

Step 2:

In a bowl, beat the egg yolk with the water and milk, then stir into the dry ingredients to make a soft dough.


Step 3:

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface until smooth, then roll out to a rectangle measuring about 40 x 30cm/ 16 x 12 in

Step 4:

For the filling, brush the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle with the sugar, chocolate chips and nuts.

Step 5:

Roll up the dough from one long side like a Swiss Roll, then cut into 12 thick even size slices. Pack close together in the tin. Cover and leave in a warm place for about 1 hour and 30 mins or until well risen and springy. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 220C/425F

Step 6:

Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the tin and cool on a wire rack. Brush maple syrup while still warm. Pull swirls apart to serve.


For an added bonus mix up some butter cream frosting with a hint of vanilla and spread on top
