Ingredients:

• 300 g of flour
• 3 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 sachet of vanilla sugar
• 1 egg, plus 1 more for brushing
• 1 packet of dry yeast
• A pinch of salt
• 50 ml of sunflower oil
• 120 ml of milk or lukewarm water
• Chocolate chips, of your choice

Instructions:

1. Start by combining all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the wet ingredients (egg, oil and milk or warm water) and knead until the dough becomes elastic and smooth.
2. Briefly stir in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
3. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Once risen, divide the dough into 8 to 10 equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.
5. Brush the tops of the buns with a beaten egg to give them a nice golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
6. Remove from the oven and immediately cover the rolls with a towel to keep them soft.

Enjoy the delicious warmth and softness of your homemade chocolate chip rolls!
