Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add egg, vinegar, oil, melted butter, vanilla sugar, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Gradually add flour and mix using a wooden spoon, then knead with hands on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and slightly tacky.
  4. Knead cocoa powder into a small piece of dough for decorative color.
  5. Place both dough pieces in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour in a warm spot.
  6. After rising, punch down the dough gently and divide it into 9 equal pieces.
  7. Flatten each piece into a disc, place chocolate in the center, pinch edges to seal, and roll into a ball.
  8. Roll the cocoa dough into thin ropes and place on top of each bun for decoration.
  9. Arrange buns in a greased baking pan with space between them.
  10. Pour 50ml of warm milk over the buns, cover, and let rest for another hour.
  11. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  12. Beat the remaining egg and brush over the top of each bun.
  13. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.

Notes

These buns are perfect for brunch, gifts, or family breakfasts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Experiment with fillings like jams or nut butters for a twist! Ensure the milk is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
