Decorating Tips:

Before baking, brushing the swirls with an egg wash mixed with a touch of milk gives them a beautiful golden shine. Sprinkling sugar grains on top adds a nice crunch. Serving them on a rustic wooden board or simple white platter can enhance their homemade appeal. For a special touch, serve it with a bowl of whipped cream or a small pitcher of chocolate sauce for dipping.

Ingredients:

• 350 g bread flour
• 50 g of sugar
• 7 g active dry yeast
• 150 ml of milk
• 35 g butter, room temperature
• 1 egg
• Chocolate chips, if needed for garnish
• Egg wash (1 egg beaten with a little milk)
• Sugar granules for garnish

Instructions:

1. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm milk then add the sugar, vanilla extract (if using), egg and gradually incorporate the flour. Knead until smooth.
2. Incorporate the butter into the dough at the end of kneading. Form the dough into a ball and let it rise until it doubles in volume.
3. Once risen, roll out the dough and shape it several times on a floured surface. Roll it back into a ball and let it rise again.
4. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, distribute the chocolate chips evenly over the surface and roll it up tightly.
5. Cut the rolled dough into slices approximately 3/4 cm thick. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Brush the top with the egg wash and sprinkle with granules of sugar.
7. Bake in a fan oven preheated to 180°C (356°F) for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
