• 1/2 cup – Milk
• For dough:

• 1 cup – Chocolate chips
Method:
- Making the water-roux:
- Mix the flour in water and milk well, without any lumps.
- Cook on medium-low heat, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- This mixture will become thick, you will see some lines for every stir you make with the spoon.
- The tangzhong is ready, turn off the heat.
- Transfer it to a clean bowl, and cover with a cling wrap.
- Let cool completely.
- You can use tangzhong once it cools down to room temperature.
- Making Dough:
- Put the flour, salt, sugar, milk powder and instant yeast in a stand mixer/ food processor and mix it for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile in an another bowl, mix the milk, cream and tangzhong until smooth and add to the mixer.
- Run on slow speed until the dough comes together.
- Now add the butter and knead it until you get a smooth and elastic dough.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a towel and keep it aside until the dough doubles in volume, almost an hour.
- Place the dough on a clean working surface, divide the dough to make mini loaves or muffins or just a single loaf.
- Roll out each portion of the dough with a rolling pin to an oval shape.
- Sprinkle generous amounts of chocolate chips.
- Take the shorter side of the oval and fold in the middle, take the other end and fold it slightly to overlap the first fold.
- Place this folded dough in a pan and cover with a towel, let the dough sit again for an hour.
- Preheat the oven to 325F, carefully brush the tops of the loaf with milk and bake them for 20-25 minutes until they are done.
- Let it cool in the tins and then, transfer to a rack and cool completely.
- Serve the loaves/ rolls with your favourite spreads.
