Yeast going into _milk_ is a new one on me

Also having to get all the dairy to room temperature before really using it, I'll do what I can - I'm already running late, oof

#baking #SwissChocolateBuns

y'know that "warm the egg between your tits" thing really works

(you do need to rotate it occasionally tho') (or I do) (maybe if you have bigger breasts than me you wouldn't idk)

#baking #swissChocolateBuns

#baking #SwissChocolateBuns

the degree to which this dough is a carrier for chunks of chocolate should not be understated

it really is

now to rise

Rise

RISE MY CHOCO MINIONS!

#baking #SwissChocolateBuns

Time to cool! But only so far, they’re supposedly best still warm from the oven.

ANYWAY these were good and not difficult, you can definitely make them if you want. If you think you might like them from the descriptions you probably will.

@moira They look delicious!

@teresa_athome Texture is very... old-school dinner roll. Very light, as if made with an even lighter flour than it was. (E.g., as if I'd used cake or pastry flour instead of all-purpose.)

@teresa_athome actually thinking about it more it's kind of humbow texture! not quite because it's not steamed but

@moira That sounds very nice. They are beautiful little rolls.
@moira my new excuse for never baking
@moira i don't understand this Settlers of Catan board

@moira

Wait, TCHO baking chocolate in 1/2 pound bags? I've been looking to buy them in small quantities (like less than the 10kg bags on their web site) for a while. Where'd you find that, if you don't mind me asking?
